Don’t Motivate an Idiot

If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn’t need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.”  – Jim Rohn

 

Jim also said if you motivate an idiot, all you end up with is a motivated idiot. Motivation has a place, but education is what we need. That is the first step.

If a person is broke, has no money saved and spends everything he gets, motivation will not change his life. He must be educated on why to manage his money, and how to manage it. When he has the information, then and only then can he make the choices that will change his life.

If you are going nowhere in your job, or worse yet, moving backward, you don’t need to be motivated to speed up that regressive plan. If you do that, you are headed for catastrophe! What you need is education. You need to learn how to turn around. You need to say, “Tell me how to get better at my job so I can be of more value, and then I can move ahead!”

Personal development is about learning and growing to be better. It adds depth and richness to life. Take a course, go to a workshop or seminar, or read a book. Change your life, starting today.
