You’ll think you gained a few 1000 lbs and really are a charging rhinoceros! 21) The people we associate with and allow to have influence in our lives, the books the read, the things we entertain ourselves with, all have tremendous impact on how we think and feel. His advice? “ Charge with rhinoceroses, fly with eagles, run with cheetahs, and eat with lions. 15Īlexander makes the point that who you associate with is usually who you begin to look like. If you don’t really want to be a rhinoceros, you won’t charge like one. Your attitude is the most important ingredient in being an effective rhinoceros.

If youfeel a bit lethargic and need motivation to get off the couch, set some goals, and charge down opportunities – this may well be the book for you.Īs rare as the animal (success) is, even more rare are the men and women who set up their own expeditions in its pursuit…The rewards are great. Rhinoceroses charge down opportunities, brushing off torpedoes with their 2-inch thick skin that have been shot at them by the cows, and tenaciously pursue their goals and dreams. Cows stand in the field chewing their cud, watching T.V., wasting time, complaining that opportunities pass them by.
