LISTEN TO LESSON 2 (SEMESTER ONE)
Until you acquire five essential ingredients,
success will never be success
TODAY’S INSTRUCTOR: HOWARD WHITMAN
Howard Whitman was a war correspondent, syndicated columnist, television commentator, producer, and author of hundreds of articles dealing with family life and human relations. He has also been the recipient of three Freedoms foundation awards.
TODAY’S TAKEAWAY NUGGETS
- Success is WITHIN YOU!
- The ice cream of success is your inward knowledge of it. Given that, you do not necessarily need the acknowledgement of the outside world.
- For success to be meaningful, it must be a personal thing.
- Success must exist inside if it’s to exist at all.
- A person is rich in the proportions of things he can let alone (David Thoreau)
FIVE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS
Purpose: you must have purpose and goals; aimlessness is the worst enemy of success.
Batting Average: there are ups and downs through the process; there must be failures to recognize success.
Price: there is a price to pay, there is nothing for free, especially success; success and the price for it coexist as an inseparable whole.
Satisfaction: you must enjoy what you are doing and the journey; if in your own heart there is a good feeling, a conviction that you are doing work that you love, this is an essential ingredient, whether anyone else believes it or not.
Spiritually: be in tune with God and have a personal relationship with God.
TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS BOOK STUDY
- I may read and record a portion of the chapter or just pick out a few nuggets each week. So, to really obtain the full benefit and get the most out of this book you may want to purchase your own copy, here is the link to Amazon
- Highlight, underline, star, mark up this book however you want with things that resonate with you.
- Take this study slowly and with intention, that’s why we are doing only ONE chapter each week, so we can ponder, think and study on this content until the next chapter.
- Do the chapters in order (all of these suggestions are from the author)
