Becoming......

What we acquire of course is valuable. But, the
greatest value is not what we acquire. The greatest value is
what we become.

My mentor had an interesting way of teaching it, When I was
25 years old he said, "I suggest, Mr. Rohn, that you set a
goal to become a millionaire."

I was all intrigued by that. You know, it's got a nice ring
to it - millionaire.

Then he said, "here's why..."I thought to myself, 'gosh, he
doesn't need to teach me why. Wouldn't it be great to have a
million dollars.'

Then he said, "no, then you'll never acquire it. Here's why.
Set a goal to become a millionaire for what it makes of you
to achieve it.

He said, "Do it for the skills you have to learn and the
person you have to become. Do it for what you'll end up
knowing about the marketplace, what you'll learn about the
management of time and working with people...
