Zig Ziglar

Success is dependent upon the glands – sweat glands.

I read the paper every day and the Bible every day; that way I know what both sides are up to.

Every choice you make has an end result.

In the game of life, before you get anything out, you must put something in!

I’m so optimistic, I’d go after Moby Dick in a rowboat and take the tartar sauce with me.

You can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening to powerful, positive, life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people.

Make failure your teacher, not your undertaker.

The relationships we have with people are extremely important to success on and off the job.

Criticism is easier to take when you realize that the only people who aren’t criticized are those who don’t take risks.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.

You can have everything in life that you want if you just give enough other people what they want.

Life is about growing and evolving. I feel like my life has been in stages, and the stages I went through when I was younger allowed me to grow into the man I am today.

I seldom read anything that is not of a factual nature because I want to invest my time wisely in the things that will improve my life. Don’t misunderstand; there is nothing wrong with reading purely for the joy of it. Novels have their place, but biographies of famous men and women contain information that can change lives.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character

The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.

Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength. That’s success.

When you are wronged repeatedly, the worst thing you can do is continue taking it – fight back!

Lack of direction not lack of time is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

Problems are often opportunities coming at us in packaging that isn’t what we expect or want.- Donald J. Trump
