Ever since ancient Greece, philosophers such as Socrates have offered advice on how to live a good life. In the 19th century the art of motivational speaking was reborn. Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Essay on Self-Reliance, was among the writers who gained fame for their focus on self-examination and the satisfaction that comes with living properly. In the 20th century a branch of the art was introduced by speakers that included Jim Rohn, who made a fortune in business and then earned fame describing the necessary elements for success — in both your personal and professional life.
In one of his notable speeches, Rohn talks about the four “IFs.”
Life is worthwhile if you learn… if you try… if you stay… if you share.
