Don&#8217;t trust your memory.                When you listen to something valuable, write it down.              When you come across something important, write it down.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">             <\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keeping a journal is so important. I call it one of the                three treasures to leave behind for the next generation.                In fact, future generations will find these three treasures             far more valuable than your furniture.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">             <\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first treasure is your pictures. Take a lot of                pictures. Don&#8217;t be lazy in capturing the event. How long                does it take to capture the event? A fraction of a second.               How long does it take to miss the event? A fraction of                a second. So don&#8217;t miss the pictures. When you&#8217;re gone,              they&#8217;ll keep the memories alive.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">             <\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second treasure is your library. This is the library                that taught you, that instructed you, that helped you                defend your ideals. It helped you develop a philosophy.                It helped you become wealthy, powerful, healthy,                sophisticated, and unique. It may have helped you                conquer some disease. It may have helped you conquer               poverty. It may have caused you to walk away from the                ghetto. Your library, the books that instructed you, fed                your mind and fed your soul, is one of the greatest gifts              you can leave behind.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">             <\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The third treasure is your journals: the ideas that you                picked up, the information that you meticulously gathered.                But of the three, journal writing is one of the greatest                indications that you&#8217;re a serious student. Taking                pictures, that is pretty easy. Buying a book at a book store, that&#8217;s               pretty easy. It is a little more challenging               to be a student of your own life, your own future, your                own destiny. Take the time to keep notes and to keep a               journal. You&#8217;ll be so glad you did. What a treasure to              leave behind when you go. What a treasure to enjoy today!<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;\">By Jim Rohn<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-1603832936106174\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\ngoogle_ad_format = \"300x250_as\";\ngoogle_ad_type = \"text_image\";\n\/\/2007-03-03: Hikmah\ngoogle_ad_channel = \"9911825884\";\n\/\/--><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\n  src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured and unique individual &#8211; keep a journal.
