The great man that has impacted my life GREATLY, Mr. Jim Rohn, passed on last Saturday, December 5th, and I was shocked when I heard the news. There is no better way to celebrate Jim Rohn than to use this medium to share his wisdom that has impacted me over the years.

I can’t begin to say, in one piece, all I have learnt from Jim Rohn as I have been following him since 2001. I have read his books, listen to his messages and even receive his newsletters on a regular basis, in short I have been his disciple since our path met. The first day I read his article in Success Digest, it was difficult for me to sleep because I have NEVER read such a powerful word before.

Highly creative people tend to have fluid, flexible, adaptive minds. Here are three statements that creative people can make easily and which you learn by regular practice.

Admit It When You Are Wrong
The first is simply, “I was wrong.” Many people are so concerned with being right that all their mental energy is consumed by stonewalling, bluffing, blaming and denying. If you’re wrong, admit it and get on to the solution or the next step.

Face Up to Mistakes
Second, non-creative people think that it is a sign of weakness to say, “I made a mistake.” On the contrary, it is actually a sign of mental maturity, personal strength and individual character. Remember, everybody makes mistakes every single day.

First, let’s understand what I mean by U-TURN. U-turn, is one of the road signs designed to ensure safe motoring on the highway. Wherever the sign is found on a road, it tells the motorist that he can change course and head back in the direction he is coming from.

To make a U-turn where there is no such sign is to commit a traffic offence. Only a careless driver, who doesn’t care for the safety of other road users, will attempt to make a U-turn just anywhere on the road.

The process of human change begins within us. We all have tremendous potential. We all desire good results from our efforts. Most of us are willing to work hard and to pay the price that success and happiness demand.

Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result. But the one thing that determines the level of our potential, that produces the intensity of our activity, and that predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude.
