해야할 일이 그리도 쉽게 눈에 띄는 데 그대는 왜 안해도 되는 이유를
그렇게 쉽게 발견하는가. 인생을 바꿀 계획을 수립하는 것이 아주 편안하고
쉬운 데 그댄 왜 그렇게 어렵게 생각하고 불안해 하는가. 내 사고를 바꾸고
생각에 영향을 미치는 서적을 읽는 것이 그렇게 신나고 쉽고 즐거운대 그댄
왜 그리도 부담스러워하고 귀찮아야 하는가. 결론적으로 얘기하면 성공한
사람들은 해야하고 할 수 있는 것들이 주변에 수두룩하고 쉽게 접하고 행하는 데
실패를 거듭하는 자들은 할 필요 없는 이유할 수 없는 일들이 어쩜 그리 많고
또 어쩜 그렇게도 쉽게 그 이유들을 찾아낼까. 안해야 할 일 안할 이유들로 일을
안하고 이를 무시해 버릴 때 자신감이 점점 없어지고 그 자리에 죄책감이 들어서면서
태도는 아주 소극적으로 바뀌고 결과는 피할 수 없는 실패를 맞닥뜨리게 된다.
자, 어쩌실래요 그래도 만사를 무시하고 사실래요.선택결정은 그대의 몫입니다

Success is Easy, But So is Neglect by Jim Rohn
People often ask me how I became successful in that six-year period of time while many of the people I knew did not.
The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking and
my ideas. They found that easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes and the seminars, and to get around other successful people. They said it probably really wouldn't matter. If I had to sum it up, I would say what I found to be easy
to do, they found to be easy not to do. Six years later, I'm a millionaire and they are all still blaming the economy,
the government, and company policies, yet they neglected to do the basic, easy things.
In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing as well as they could and should, can be summed up
in a single word: neglect.
It is not the lack of money - banks are full of money. It is not the lack of opportunity - America, and much of the free World, continues to offer the most unprecedented and abundant opportunities in the last six thousand years of recorded history.
It is not the lack of books ? libraries are full of books - and they are free! It is not the schools - the classrooms are full
of good teachers. We have plenty of ministers, leaders, counselors and advisors.
Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful and sophisticated is within our reach. The major reason
that so few take advantage of all that we have is simply neglect. Neglect is like an infection. Left unchecked it will spread
throughout our entire system of disciplines and eventually lead to a complete breakdown of a potentially joy-filled and prosperous human life. Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel guilty and guilt leads to an erosion
of self-confidence. As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity diminishes,
our results inevitably decline. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken. And as our attitude begins the slow
shift from positive to negative, our self-confidence diminishes even more... and on and on it goes.
So my suggestion is that when giving the choice of "easy to" and "easy not to" that you do not neglect
to do the simple, basic, "easy"; but potentially life-changing activities and disciplines.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
