Keeping a journal

I am interested in reading and listening to all kinds of success books/articles. One of the great thinkers in this field is Jim Rohn. I listened to lots of his speech sessions and like them very much.

I visited his website (jimrohn.com) again today and found some very useful thoughts. His articles are all at here: http://www.jimrohn.com/articles.asp

I also received an e-letter from the site and now I am posting the most valuable part of the letter here:

Here's a little from Jim Rohn on keeping a journal the past 40+ years:

"Be a collector of good ideas, but don't trust your memory. The best collecting place for all of the ideas and information that comes your way is your journal."

"The reason why I spend so much money for my journals is to press me to find something valuable to put in them."

"There are three things to leave behind: your photographs, your library and your personal journals. These things are certainly going to be more valuable to future generations than your furniture!"

"Don't use your mind for a filing cabinet. Use your mind to work out problems and find answers; file away good ideas in your journal."
