5 Principles:
1. Dream Big
2. Work Hard
3. Learn every day
4. Enjoy Life
5. Be true to yourself
Newt’s 5 principles sound easy but once one examines below the surface one soon realizes much work needs to be done.
Interesting quotes from Newt’s book:
“True learning is not so much about being in school or getting a degree, its more about acquiring, new, useful information that you can apply to your life. It can be done anywhere, by anyone, and it is an ongoing process.”
“Engagement occurs when you focus all your attention on the activity at hand.”
“Limits and guidelines become more important than dreams and vision. We begin to focus on obstacles and probabilities rather than on goals and possibilities.”
“To make a personal dream come true, you must set interim goals that bridge your current reality to that dream.”
Everyone needs four things in their life or they will feel a hollow emptiness.
Everyone must:
Have something to do.
Have someone to love.
Have someone to believe in.
Have something to hope for which is nothing more than dreaming big.
“Big men do not laugh at big ideas” – David Schwartz The Magic of Thinking Big.
“If you want to walk on water, you’ve got to get out of the boat”
“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.”
“We are what we repeatedly do” – Aristotle
“It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”
