Quote by Jim Rohn

Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don't go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won't laugh at you.

Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don't go

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of asking for what we want in order to receive it. By highlighting the analogy of going to the ocean with a teaspoon, it suggests that we should not limit ourselves or settle for meager outcomes. Instead, we should aim higher and ask for more by using a bucket. This encourages us to have the confidence and courage to ask for what we truly desire, ensuring that we are not left empty-handed or ridiculed by settling for less.

We do not always appreciate the role the Queen has played in one of the most significant changes in the past 60 years: the transformation of Britain into a multi-ethnic, multi-faith society. No one does interfaith better than the Royal family, and it starts with the Queen herself.

People who love only once in their lives are shallow people.

People who love only once in their lives are shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect -- simply a confession of failures.

Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.
