1. 0:00If you want to be wealthy and happy the
2. 0:01rest of your life, just learn this
3. 0:04lesson. Well, learn to work harder on
4. 0:08yourself than you do on your job. I have
5. 0:12found in my experience that income does
6. 0:14not far exceed personal development.
7. 0:17Now, sometimes income takes a lucky
8. 0:18jump, but sure enough, unless you grow
9. 0:21out where it is, it'll usually come back
10. 0:22where you are. Life has strange ways. If
11. 0:25somebody hands you a million dollars,
12. 0:27best you become a millionaire quickly.
13. 0:29So, you get to keep the
14. 0:31money. Otherwise, sure enough, it'll
15. 0:34disappear. Somebody once said, "If you
16. 0:37took all the money in the world, divided
17. 0:39it up equally among everybody, it would
18. 0:42soon all be back in the same pockets."
19. 0:45Success is something you attract, not
20. 0:47something you pursue. So, instead of
21. 0:49going after it, you work on yourself,
22. 0:51personal development, because true
23. 0:53happiness is not contained in what you
24. 0:56get. Happiness is contained in what you
25. 0:59become. Now, if you're excited and
26. 1:02you're ready to change, let me give you
27. 1:05three steps to start life change that
28. 1:07can change your life, your personality,
29. 1:09your lifestyle. Everything can change.
30. 1:11Here's the steps. Number
31. 1:13one, find out
32. 1:16how
33. 1:19things work. To change your life,
34. 1:22really, you need ideas.
35. 1:25There isn't anything an idea can't
36. 1:27change. And Schul taught me the major
37. 1:29problem is lack of an idea. Not a
38. 1:32problem. At first, I didn't have any
39. 1:34money. I said to Mr. Scha, "I don't have
40. 1:35any money." He said, "That's not a
41. 1:36problem." Now, see, up until then, I
42. 1:38always thought it was right. I was
43. 1:41confused. He said, "No, no, the problem
44. 1:43is lack of an idea on how to create
45. 1:46money and wealth. It isn't lack of
46. 1:48money, it's lack of ideas. So, if you
47. 1:50get the ideas, see, you can change
48. 1:51anything." Now to get ideas you need a
49. 1:53constant study of finding
50. 1:55out. If you wish to be successful, study
51. 2:00success. If you wish to be happy, study
52. 2:03happiness. If you wish to be wealthy,
53. 2:06study wealth. Don't leave it to
54. 2:09chance. Make it a
55. 2:12study. Some people just go through the
56. 2:14day with their fingers crossed. See,
57. 2:16that won't do it. You've got to study
58. 2:19the things that can change your
59. 2:20economic, social, spiritual, personal
60. 2:24life. Now, Schaef also said when you
61. 2:26find out something that works, put the
62. 2:28information in your
63. 2:30journal. Don't use your head for a
64. 2:32filing
65. 2:33cabinet. Put it in your journal so that
66. 2:36you can do the next best thing.
67. 2:37Repetition, repetition, repetition. Go
68. 2:40over it. And if you repeat it, go over
69. 2:44it. Sure enough, someday, some
70. 2:45mysterious day, the idea takes root,
71. 2:47starts to grow, and shows up in your
72. 2:49bank account and your dress and your
73. 2:51personality and your
74. 2:53lifestyle. Now, if you're
75. 2:56curious, let me give you three ways to
76. 2:58find out how to change
77. 3:02anything, any life direction, any
78. 3:05dimension. Here's three ways to find out
79. 3:07how to change
80. 3:08anything. Number one is to read. All of
81. 3:11the successful people I know and work
82. 3:13with around the world, they're all good
83. 3:14readers. Curiosity drives them to read.
84. 3:17They got to know. They just read, read,
85. 3:19read, read, read, read, read, read,
86. 3:20read. Become
87. 3:23self-educated. Standard education will
88. 3:25get you standard
89. 3:26results. And you can check those numbers
90. 3:29and see if that's what you want. But if
91. 3:30you want to go beyond that, you now have
92. 3:32got to become self-educated. One way to
93. 3:34learn is from your own experiences, but
94. 3:36another way to learn is from other
95. 3:38people's experiences. See, one book
96. 3:42might save you five
97. 3:44years if you read it. Did you know
98. 3:48there's books on how to be stronger,
99. 3:50more decisive, be a speaker, be a
100. 3:52leader, have a better effect on other
101. 3:54people, develop your personality? Did
102. 3:56you know there's books on that? Did you
103. 3:58know that hundreds of successful people
104. 4:00have written their stories in books and
105. 4:02they wrote down how they did it and
106. 4:05people don't read it? How would you
107. 4:08explain that? Now, you don't have to
108. 4:10read half the night, but put this in
109. 4:12your notes. 30 minutes a day. 30 minutes
110. 4:15a day. Read something positive,
111. 4:17something challenging, something
112. 4:18inspirational, something instructional.
113. 4:21At least 30 minutes a day. Become a good
114. 4:24reader. Now, that's my opinion. Listen
115. 4:27to the other lecturers and listen to me
116. 4:29and make up your own mind. Don't be a
117. 4:31follower. Be a student. Here's the
118. 4:34second way to find out how to change
119. 4:36your
120. 4:37life, and that's to listen. Get around
121. 4:40successful people and
122. 4:43listen. Now, you can also learn from
123. 4:45unsuccessful people. Take notes on
124. 4:47both, negative and positive. Find out
125. 4:50what poor people read and don't read it.
126. 4:52Right? That's good information. Learn
127. 4:55from the negative. But now, you can also
128. 4:58learn from the positive. Get around
129. 4:59successful people. Listen to what they
130. 5:01say. Listen to how they say it. It's
131. 5:04important. Now, here's some of the best
132. 5:06advice I've got for the whole evening.
133. 5:08Poor people ought to take rich people
134. 5:10out to dinner. And listen, that's some
135. 5:13of the best I
136. 5:14got. But you're right. Poor people don't
137. 5:18usually take rich people out to dinner.
138. 5:20The guy said he's rich. Let him buy his
139. 5:22own dinner. I'm not coming up with any
140. 5:24money. You're lucky to get your own
141. 5:26supper, let alone running around trying
142. 5:27to find a rich man to
143. 5:29feed. and the guy's
144. 5:32behind. If a guy's not doing well, one
145. 5:35of the first things he ought to do is
146. 5:37find a guy that is doing
147. 5:39well and offer to buy him his dinner.
148. 5:42Spend 50, $60, $800. Go for the full
149. 5:44nine course. If you get a successful
150. 5:47person to eat and talk for two hours,
151. 5:49they're liable to drop ideas in your
152. 5:50lap. Change your life. Multiply your
153. 5:53income by two, by three, by five. But
154. 5:56you're right. Poor people don't usually
155. 5:59take rich people out to
156. 6:01dinner. Now, here's the third way to
157. 6:03find out how to change your life, and
158. 6:06that's to
159. 6:08observe. You can pick up a lot of ideas
160. 6:10just by watching. Get around successful
161. 6:12people and
162. 6:14watch. Here's why. Success leaves
163. 6:21clues. Watch how the man shakes hands.
164. 6:24Watch how the lady responds. People who
165. 6:27do well do certain things over and over
166. 6:29and over and over. And if you're clever,
167. 6:32you can pick them
168. 6:33[Music]
169. 6:35up. Watch it all. If a guy's making
170. 6:37$10,000 a month, I'd watch how he walks.
171. 6:40Maybe that's it. Copy his funny little
172. 6:44walk. Somebody says, "Well, that's kind
173. 6:46of a silly walk." Say it's
174. 6:5110,000. I haven't got the money yet, but
175. 6:53I got the walk.
176. 6:55It's bound to start
177. 6:57somewhere. What I ask you tonight is to
178. 7:00be unusual and be a good observer of
179. 7:02what's going on. You can pick up ideas
180. 7:04that can change your life starting
181. 7:05tomorrow. Just be a more careful
182. 7:07observer. Now remember, there's two ways
183. 7:09to
184. 7:10see. One is called
185. 7:13sight. See with your eyes. The other one
186. 7:16is called
187. 7:18insight. See with your mind.
188. 7:21[Music]
189. 7:24See with your eyes, you'll see things.
190. 7:26See with your mind, you'll see
191. 7:29answers. Put your eyes and your mind to
192. 7:33work. And the best advice on developing
193. 7:35sight and insight is pay
194. 7:38attention. Don't miss anything. Wherever
195. 7:41you are, be
196. 7:44there.
197. 7:46Excellent. Now, we've lingered a little
198. 7:48bit long on number one here for personal
199. 7:50development.
200. 7:52find out how things work. But it's so
201. 7:53very important, finding out. And I've
202. 7:56given you three ways to find
203. 7:59out. Now, here's the second step to
204. 8:01personal
205. 8:05development. Okay? Number one was find
206. 8:07out how things work. Here's number two.
207. 8:10Go to work. If there's one thing to get
208. 8:12excited over, that's it. Get excited
209. 8:15over your ability to make yourself do
210. 8:18the necessary things.
211. 8:22What could you make yourself do starting
212. 8:24tomorrow that would change it all? No
213. 8:28telling. Now, see, that's exciting. On
214. 8:31any given day, you can massively change
215. 8:34the direction of your life. Now, here's
216. 8:36the key to discipline. Start with the
217. 8:38little disciplines. Get excited over the
218. 8:40little disciplines and get right on
219. 8:43those because those will lead to the big
220. 8:45ones. You can't handle the big
221. 8:47challenges in life unless you take on
222. 8:48the little ones. Make a list of all the
223. 8:50things you can do. Get right on those.
224. 8:52Discipline yourself for those. Both for
225. 8:54the results and for the muscle and for
226. 8:55the practice. So that when life hands
227. 8:57you some big challenges, you'll be
228. 8:59ready. You'll have the
229. 9:01muscle. But see, if you don't handle the
230. 9:03small
231. 9:03ones, you can't take care of the big
232. 9:07ones. Here's what else it takes for life
233. 9:09change. Self
234. 9:11motivation. Key phrase, selfm
235. 9:14motivation. I don't know why we call it
236. 9:16selfm motivation. It's really the only
237. 9:17kind there is. You got to motivate
238. 9:20yourself. And you don't want to give
239. 9:21self motivation away to somebody else
240. 9:23and make it somebody else motivating
241. 9:26you. The guy says, "Boy, if somebody
242. 9:29just come by and turn me on, what if
243. 9:32they don't show up?" Right? See, you got
244. 9:35to have a better plan for your
245. 9:38life. You must now take action on what
246. 9:42you found out. Don't let your learning
247. 9:45lead to knowledge. you'll become a fool.
248. 9:48Let your learning lead to action, you
249. 9:51can become
250. 9:53wealthy. And there's many kinds of
251. 9:55wealth. I understand that. Not just
252. 9:57money. Money is one of the least of all
253. 10:00values. I know some people with a lot of
254. 10:03money that are very
255. 10:05[Music]
256. 10:07poor. Now, here's the third step to
257. 10:10personal development, and we'll wrap up
258. 10:11personal development.
259. 10:14Step number three, it's just a little
260. 10:16caution. And all through life, we need
261. 10:19little
262. 10:20cautions. This one simply says, don't
263. 10:24try to beat the
264. 10:28system. Find out how it works. Work it,
265. 10:31but don't try to beat
266. 10:34it. Some people learn just enough to
267. 10:36start slicing it, shading it, thinning
268. 10:38it, cutting corners, and looking for
269. 10:40cheap answers. See, don't fall for that.
270. 10:42you'll wind up with a cheap
271. 10:44life. Find out how it works best and do
272. 10:48it that
273. 10:51way. Even though it seems to take a
274. 10:53little longer, do it right. Don't
275. 10:55compromise with
276. 10:56right. So, if I had a word with you
277. 10:59tonight
278. 11:00oneonone, just you and me, I think my
279. 11:03personal advice to you would be this
280. 11:06year 1981, reach down inside of
281. 11:11you and come up with some more of those
282. 11:13remarkable human
283. 11:15gifts. They're there waiting to be
284. 11:18utilized. And then change anything for
285. 11:20you you want to change. And I challenge
286. 11:22you to do that because you can change.
287. 11:25See, you don't ever have to be the same
288. 11:27again after tonight. Only by choice.
289. 11:30Starting tomorrow, what are you going to
290. 11:32do that'll make a change in your life's
291. 11:35direction? Good question. What are you
292. 11:37going to do starting tomorrow that'll
293. 11:39make a difference? Now, see, if you
294. 11:41don't do something starting tomorrow
295. 11:42that'll make a difference, guess
296. 11:44what? It's going to be the
297. 11:48same. And see, that way you can guess
298. 11:50what the next five years are going to be
299. 11:51like. Look at the last five cuz the next
300. 11:54five are going to be like the last five
301. 11:56unless you major key tomorrow change it
302. 11:59all or change a little or change
303. 12:01something or don't change. It's choice
304. 12:04time. You can do whatever you want. But
305. 12:07it's nice to know any day you wish you
306. 12:08can change your whole life.
