Zig Ziglar

I read for the ‘ah-ha’s,’ the information that makes a light bulb go off in my mind. I want to put information in my mind that is going to be the most beneficial to me, my family and my fellow man – financially, morally, spiritually, and emotionally.

Be careful not to compromise what you want most for what you want now.

You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.

You can succeed at almost anything for which you have unbridled enthusiasm.

The one thing coaches cannot tolerate… is the individual who grows arrogant because he excelled at a lower level and believes he has nothing else to learn.

Kids instinctively know – although they will argue to the contrary – that they really are not mature enough to make good decisions on some important issues.

Honesty and integrity are by far the most important assets of an entrepreneur.

Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.

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

Courage is facing your fears. Stupidity is fearing nothing.

Stumbling is not the same as falling.

Don’t underestimate yourself or your possibilities.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

Thought is useful when it motivates for action, and a hindrance when it substitutes for action.

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.

Moving from survival to stability, from stability to success, from success to significance.

If you aim at nothing, you will hit every time.

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

As a principle-centered person you try to stand apart from the emotion of the situation and from other factors that would act on you, and evaluate the options. Looking at the balanced whole–the work needs, the family needs, the other needs that may be involved, and the possible implications of the various alternatives — you’ll try to come up with the best solution taking all factors into consideration. We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.

Personal discipline, when it becomes a way of life in our personal, family, and career lives, will enable us to do some incredible things.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
