Issue 37

I had a blast the last few weeks traveling and speaking in Europe and Puerto Rico. Something really struck me when I was in Europe and it was magnified by an incident at a Brussels gas station at midnight. Much like in the United States, you can pay at the pump with your credit card in Brussels. The challenge is that the instructions are not in English. I literally went from gas station to gas station trying to figure out how to pay at the pump. It was midnight and all the attendants were gone.

Finally, I picked a gas station and told myself - 'If you can memorize 100 numbers in 1 minute then you are going to stay here and figure out this pump.' After about 5 minutes and no luck a twenty-something girl saw me struggling as she fueled her car. She walked over to me - smiled and said, 'French?' I shook my head, 'No'. She then said, 'German?' No again...'Dutch?' Shook my head no once again. Then she smiled and said, 'English?' She hit the jackpot and my face lit up when I said, 'YES!'

She then went on,' Okay, this is all you have to do...push this button...put your card here...now enter your code...' In minutes I was gassing my car and she was gone.

Then it hit me. This twenty-something spoke at the very least 4 languages. She went through her menu of languages until she found one that I could speak. It was the same all over Europe. In Paris, Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium I never had a problem of finding someone to help me because they all spoke English! Everyone knew at least 2 languages and for the most part 3 or more.

Imagine if you only spoke German, Dutch, French or Italian and you visited the United States. Bottom line...you would be in trouble. I love my country but as a whole we are not good at learning other languages. I am about 50% fluent in Spanish and this experience has inspired me to become fluent by the end of 2007.

I want to encourage you to tackle another language this year - as I am. Jim Rohn talks about the value of this in his talks and it is never too late to start. You will find it builds your confidence, shows respect for other cultures, increases your income opportunities, stretches and exercises your brain and is fun!

1. Einstein's Formula for Success by Ron White (excerpted from How to Develop the Mind of Einstein 6-CD/Workbook series)

Albert Einstein had a formula for success. Can you believe that? One of the greatest minds of all time developed a math formula for success! I suggest you read this carefully -- this may be the most important math equation that you will ever see.

Einstein said, "If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z.
X is work.
Y is play.
Z is keep your mouth shut."

Einstein no doubt had an excellent sense of humor. Let's look at the 3 variables in this equation. They are:
1. Work
2. Play
3. Keeping your mouth shut!

1. Work: Albert Einstein had a tremendous work ethic and because of that gave more to society and modern science than any person in recent times

2. Play: Einstein, however, did not work 24 hours a day and made time for fun and relaxation. His idea of fun may have been different than yours, but that doesn't mean it still wasn't play.

3. Keeping your mouth shut: Finally, my favorite part of his success formal is to keep your mouth shut. I genuinely believe that the person who talks the least says the most. A friend of mine complains that the woman he is dating talks too much. I don't know how to break the news to him; however, the problem is not that she talks too much. It simply is the fact that he is irritated that he isn't able to talk. Now, let me just say this is not a generic man and woman statement. I am speaking about a specific person that I know. His desire is to constantly talk and because he likes to talk so much, he will talk in circles. If you let him talk long enough he will repeat the same thing three times and then contradict himself. His desire is not to hear but to be heard.

Albert Einstein, on the other hand had nothing to prove. He felt no need to be the "Chatty Cathy" he could have been with his knowledge. It wasn't important to him to talk to everyone he met and talk over their heads to demonstrate his IQ. Instead, he learned the value of quietness and solitude.

Shift your mind set from being a talker to a listener. It has been said that you can make more friends in 5 minutes by becoming interested in others than you can make in 5 years of trying to get others interested in you! How do you become interested in others? You ask questions and then keep your mouth shut!

Dale Carnegie wrote a best selling book entitled 'How to Win Friends and Influence People.' One of the key premises of this book was that everyone's favorite subject is actually themselves and that the sweetest sound to their ears is the sound of their own name. Einstein knew this and realized he could influence others by choosing his spots to speak and validating others by extending them the courtesy of listening.

2. Quotes of The Week

ADVENTURE

"Adventure isn't hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day to day obstacles of life – facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources against the unknown and in the process, discovering our own unique potential." -- John Amatt

"Bringing up a family should be an adventure, not an anxious discipline in which everybody is constantly graded for performance." -- Milton R. Saperstein

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all." -- Helen Keller

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious." -- Albert Einstein

"It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end." -- Ursula Le Guin

"Never forget that life can only be noble inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to face many a danger, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle." -- Annie Besant

"To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world. An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered." -- G.K. Chesterton

"A large volume of adventures may be grasped within this little span of life, by him who interests his heart in everything." -- Laurence Sterne

"It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys." -- Antoine do Saint-Exupery




3. This Thing is Loaded with Life Lessons!

A friend and fellow speaker of mine, Gary Eby, recently released a new book, Lefthanded Soldiers, and I've watched it create a huge ripple effect for those who've read it.

When I asked Gary where he got the inspiration to write this story, he said it was birthed through his own personal challenges and circumstances he has overcome!

It is truly a great read (in novel form) and loaded with inspiration and insights. I know of several people here who have already read it (in just a day) and quickly bought more to share with friends, family and associates.

To help introduce the story of Lefthanded Soldiers I'm giving you a preview of the first few Chapters for free. See if you get as hooked as those who've already read it (also includes 2 Bonus items)!

Go to http://garyeby.jimrohn.com or call 800-929-0434

Gary, WOW!! Your book is as inspirational as you are and gives strength to the reader in real time. I could relate to so much of what you talk about in my own journey. Keep up the amazing work, you will touch the lives of thousands in the coming months, that's a done deal. -- Kalpesh Patel

It's a novel! It's life training! It's about persistence and NEVER giving up! A must read for yourself and your family!

Enjoy!

Ron White

 4. The Concept of Multi-Tasking

This series not only educates you in examining the person and life of Einstein (great learning for you fans of history and biographies), it also will entertain you and most importantly it will give you strategies and ideas on how to improve your thinking, skills, relationships, time management and more.

It's interesting! It's fascinating! It's educational! It will stimulate your thinking! It will challenge you! It is something you will want your kids to listen to as well!

5. Customer Feedback

Here are some of the testimonials and comments we received from our Ezine subscribers and event attendees. We love receiving comments and feedback - so keep it coming!


Hi Ron, I wanted to take a moment to give you a brief testimonial about your Speed Reading course. I’ve been a very active reader for 15 years. I generally read a book or two per week. In large part, this is due to the type of work and ministry I do. I read a good deal of personal development, sales and ministry related books. I’ve always wanted to work on a speed-reading course to increase my potential for gathering, sorting and applying information to my life but I never took time to do it. I purchased your Speed Reading course in late December and did nothing with it until about 3 weeks ago. I’m working through the course at about 20 minutes per day. I’m currently at the end of the third CD. Since I already read quite a bit daily, I practice and use the techniques regularly even on the days I don’t use your program. When I started the course, my reading speed was 336 wpm. After 3 weeks, I retested at 847 wpm. I didn’t lose much in terms of comprehension ( I know that will improve as well). Anyway, I’m really excited! There’s so much I can see myself reading now that I would not have tackled due to my lack of time. I had no idea I could get these results. I look forward to finishing the course and repeating it.
-- Steven Earp

I can't say thank you enough for bringing Ron White here. I just couldn’t believe how wonderful and life changing this seminar was! If you knew me better, you'd know that to get 35 out of 43 on the memorize list is a tremendous accomplishment for me. Scott, my husband, couldn't believe I did so well. For all the people who didn't come, they will truly regret it for a long time. Again, Thank you for your hard work and trusting your instinct in getting Ron here! That was one of the best seminars I've attended in a long time (and I attend lots).
-- Evelena

I really, REALLY enjoyed Ron's seminar.
-- Cheryl

My kids loved the Ron White workshop. Thank you for including us.

I am with Jacque on "Thank you so very much Melanie!!!!" Jacque is right, everyone that missed this incredible seminar will be drug by their toes to the next one if we ever get another chance. My sons are at the top of the list, they could not believe that I could learn all of the presidents and what order in a short afternoon!!!:) What an incredible person Ron White is to tell us to go out and teach what we learned and not just show off with "the power." I have to admit I did show off a little:)
-- Kim

Melanie-Thank you so much for goofing around on MySpace and finding such a great asset for our business. Ron White was awesome, I could not believe what he was actually teaching us and how we were able to apply it right then and there. Even though I didn't get to draw the pictures and such, I had to do it all in my head and then go from there. Well, again THANK YOU for all of your hard work to make that event possible.
-- Ashley Kelly, Independent Consultant, Area Manager, Arbonne International

Hey Ron, this Memory in a Month is remarkable. I thought I had no ability to remember things. I have had this program for a week. I told you in an earlier email that I was a pastor of a small church. I actually used the program to do the introduction to my sermon today. Amazing. It is hard for me to wait until the next day to learn more. Many thanks. May God Bless..
Byron George


Thank you Ezine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us! -- RW
