| America, a Depository of the Gifts of the World
byJim Rohn As we’ve entered more than one-tenth of the way into this new millennium, one of the major challenges for all of us is to learn to live together on this one planet we all share. Hopefully, we will all discover that by living and working together we will all benefit. I believe America is a great example of this. Guess what has made America powerful? The blending of many ethnic streams that have come to America over the last 200 years. No country has been such a depository of the gifts of the world like America. For over 200 years, people have come from all over the world to America, bringing with them their recipes and their food. Their music and their dance and their artistic ability. The gift of law and the gift of government. The gift of medicine and the gift of healing. The gift of religion and the gift of the work ethic. | ![]() ![]() |
| All of this did not start here. All of it came here from all the countries of the world. In fact, it is an incredible list - how many people outside their native countries live in America. The most Japanese outside of Japan live in America; the most Italians outside of Italy live in America; the most Koreans outside of Korea live in America; the most Puerto Ricans outside of Puerto Rico live in America. You can go right down the list, country after country. The list is so long it's unbelievable, but that is what has made America so unbelievably powerful. The contribution of all the ethnic streams that have been coming here for 200 years is incredible. We must all now recognize what an incredible opportunity we all have before us, as this giant planet seems to get smaller all around us. And remember that it is our diversity that when mixed together can create genius. It is the combination of the soft sound of the flute and the crash of the symbols that make up the brilliant sounds of the symphony orchestra. In our challenges to learn better how to live together, let us also find new opportunities to create future genius and miracles in our world and with each other. | ![]() | ![Independence Day Sale!]()
| Vitamins for the MindbyJim RohnAmerica The Pledge of Allegiance starts with "I" and ends with "all." That's what America is all about – "I" (individual) and "all" (all of us). When all of us understand how valuable each of us is, that's powerful. And here's what else is powerful: When each of us understands how powerful all of us are. In America we have the greatest chance for opportunity than anyone else in the past six and a half thousand years. Never, in recorded history, have so many different gifts from all over the world been deposited in one country. In America, everything you need to succeed is within reach. One of the great liberal documents of the world is the Declaration of Independence. One of the great conservative documents of the world is the Constitution of the United States. We need both documents to build a country. One to get it started – liberal; and the other to help maintain the structure over the years – conservative. “Vitamins for the Mind” is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of more than 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim’s personal journals, seminars and books and spanning more than 40 years.
