Well, this is all, people.
Enjoy your Winter Holidays!!
…And while you do so, take some minutes to read the following article:

“A Dollar and Some Ambition” by Jim Rohn
Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with
our lives.

The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity
to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try
less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to
an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of
constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.

And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly
be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we
possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive
and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can.

All of us have the choice. To do or not to do. To be or not to be.
To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.
Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch
upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do
all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as
long as we can?

Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent
and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we
could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.

Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation.
Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less
than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to
become more today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are
always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the
world around them as a result of who and what they have become.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn


YOU CAN SUCCEED! GIVE YOURSELF THE OPPORTUNITY!!

See you at the institute on Tuesday 4th August.
STUDY HARD FOR YOUR MOCK!!!

Love,
Daniela
