Ever heard of Zig Zigler? Back in the day he was the premier motivational/sales trainer and teacher. I owned several of his book and wherever he came to town I made sure to hear his presentations.
In my journal I wrote down some of the quotes I gleaned from books and speeches. Here are a few that really spoke to me -
I'm so optimistic, I'd go after Moby Dick in a rowboat and take the tartar sauce with me.
There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.
If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.
Outstanding people have one thing in common: an absolute sense or mission.
Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have 24 hour days.
If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
