The Mighty Zig Ziglar

Didn't want to go Biblical today. My plan and purpose is to diversify, this way, we'll get to have a balance.

I gushed about my experience in church yesterday, details are in my diary, feel free to pay a visit and read your eyes out. lol

Great achievers are not celebrated compared to what we see on social media platforms these days. You'll agree with me that musicians, models, actors, jackpot winners, etc take the spotlight and dominate the  world, little or no recognition is given to those who work so hard to make a difference which entailed living an extra-ordinary life.

I'll be featuring "The Mighty Zig Ziglar" today, grab a seat, munch on anything if You please and enjoy the unique and inspiring story of Zig Ziglar.


I didn't just want to write about Zig Ziglar because of the stories I heard about him or very interesting articles of his work I was able to gather through Google but entirely because of the 9mins 27sec video of him that I dashed out to You tube to watch immediately after reading about him. Best belief, Zig Ziglar is goooood! You've ever craved actualization of your dreams, intense happiness and full capacity living, then you should subscribe entirely to Zig Ziglar. No time, I've added him to my list of mentors. #yimu.



               You'll agree with me that Zig Ziglar had great looks even at old age

POPULAR QUOTES OF ZIG ZIGLAR
























* Few quotes I extracted from his clips include the following;

- Learn to solve your problem yourself

- Who never takes step 1 never takes step 2

- People that complain live in denial rather than facing the problem and solving the problem, they think good of themselves and others as bad

- Learn to see reasons on why you should love any circumstance rather than reasons to like it

- What you do is what you sell everyday of your life

- Positive thinking would let you do everything better than negative thinking will

- The healthiest of all human emotion is gratitude


I was greatly inspired! You don't have no choice other than being just that too. Reading and not allowing his works and words influence every sphere of our lives begets downfall or poor results.
