Jim Kwik: ON How To Learn Faster, Remember More & Find Your Superpower

Regardless of your age, background, career, education, financial situation, gender, history, or IQ, only about one-third of your intellect, potential, and memory is pre-determined by genetics and biology; two-thirds is in your control.

When what you think, what you say, and what you do are aligned, we experience harmony in life.

If you procrastinate, put things off, and just do the easy things, life is hard. But if you do the hard things, life becomes easier.

I believe that difficult times either diminish you, define you, or develop you, and ultimately, we decide—that's the power we have.

A lot of people say they stopped playing because they grew older, but it's the opposite—you grow older because you stop playing.

If you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Don't let school get in the way of your education.

Self-love and self-care are not selfish—you have to give to yourself before you give to somebody else.

Parents have to be very careful with the words they use—your external words become a child's internal words.

There's a gift in every struggle.

People will forget what you say, but they'll always remember how you made them feel.

The same level of thinking that created your problem won't solve your problem.

Identity answers the question of who; beliefs and values answer the question of why; capabilities answer the question of how; behavior answers the question of what; the environment answers the question of when and where.

I feel like, in this age of information, we're drowning in data and information, but we're starving for real wisdom.

I don't believe knowledge is power—at all. It has the potential to be power, but all the podcasts, online programs, coaching seminars—none of it works unless we work it.

It's not how smart you are; it's how are you smart?

Your brain is like a supercomputer and your self-talk is a program it runs. So, if you tell yourself you're not good at remembering names, you won't remember the name of the next person you meet because you programmed your supercomputer not to.

If you knew how powerful your mind was, you wouldn't have a thought or say something you didn't want to be true.

I believe that we could go broke buying into the opinions and expectations of other people. If other people's opinions are fueling us, then we could run out of gas really fast.

Isn't it interesting that one step in another direction can completely change your destiny?

To create any kind of results in our life, we need to behave a certain way, but in order to do a behavior, we need a belief that enables that to happen.
