dream.”Hugh Hefner
“You were designed for accomplishment ,engineered for success
and endowed with the seeds of greatness.”
~ Zig Ziglar
Zig Ziglar will go down in the record books as one of the greatest storytellers,
motivational speakers and authors in the field of personal development
in all of human history.
I have been studying the late Mr. Ziglars’ books, speeches, mannerisms,
wisdom and philosophies for over 5 years now. His teachings have molded
my life and will effect the way in which I set goals and make decision
for the rest of my life.
Zig Ziglar mastered the art of public speaking and clearly defined the master plan
for setting goals and maximum personal achievement.
He passed away at the age of 86 yesterday.
His legacy will live on forever in the tens of thousands of people he has inspired to live life to its fullest potential.
I look forward to spreading his message and inspiring others to do the same, as he has done for me.
Here are 5 of my favorite quotes from Zig Ziglar;
1. “Make today worth remembering.”
2. “Failing is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night.”
3. “The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for”
4. “The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now”
5. “You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”
“If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

“I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money.”
“When you want to attract something into your life, make sure your actions don’t contradict your desires…
Think about what you have asked for, and make sure that your actions are mirroring what you expect to receive, and that they’re not contradicting what you‘ve asked for. Act as if you are receiving it.
Do exactly what you would do if you were receiving it today, and take actions in your life to reflect that powerful expectation. Make room to receive your desires, and as you do, you are sending out that powerful signal of expectation.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.
“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”
Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of Transcendentalism in his 1836 essay, Nature. Following this ground-breaking work, he gave a speech entitled The American Scholar in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. considered to be America’s “Intellectual Declaration of Independence”.[1] Considered one of the great lecturers of the time, Emerson had an enthusiasm and respect for his audience that enraptured crowds.
“Death comes to all,
but great achievements build a monument
which shall endure until the sun grows cold.”
“Perhaps the biggest mistake people make that limits their confidence and effectiveness is situation after situation is to wait until they feel absolutely certain about something before taking action. Yet what sets high-achievers in every walk of life apart is they have developed the habit of taking action before they feel completely ready.”

Napoleon Hill (October 26, 1883 – November 8, 1970) was an American author who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. He is widely considered to be one of the great writers on success.[1] His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich (1937), is one of the best-selling books of all time (at the time of Hill’s death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 million copies).[2]
“Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win
- essential to success.”
Hill’s works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success. He became an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933-36. “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve” is one of Hill’s hallmark expressions.[3][4] How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success in reach for the average person, were the focal points of Hill’s books.
