Attitude, aptitude and altitude

Zig Ziglar died this past week at age 86. A world-renowned motivational speaker, trainer and author, Ziglar wrote over two dozen books and amassed a following of millions who were inspired by his lessons for success.

Below are 10 quotes from Ziglar that are worth keeping close at hand when you need a little extra ambition:

  1. “You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.”
  2. “Remember that failure is an event, not a person.”
  3. “People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing-that’s why we recommend it daily.”
  4. “There has never been a statue erected to honor a critic.”
  5. “People don’t buy for logical reasons. They buy for emotional reasons.”
  6. “Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.”
  7. “If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.”
  8. “A goal properly set is halfway reached.”
  9. “Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.”
  10. “If you can dream it, you can achieve it.”

Here are a few clips of Ziglar in action.

Best wishes for a successful week.
