The last 12 – 14 months have not been the best for businesses, I am not talking about the economic and financial downtrend. I am referring to the loss of three brilliant thought leaders.
We lost Steve Jobs to a deadly disease late last year, we lost Stephen Covey to a freak bike accident a few months ago and on thursday, 28 th November we lost Zig Ziglar, a world war II veteran, one of the world’s famous salesmen, motivational speaker and author of more than 30 top selling books. Ziglar died of complications from pneumonia at a hospital in Plano, Texas.
Ziglar dedicated his life to help other realize their dreams and motivate them to be successful.
Below are Zig Ziglar’s most inspirational and motivational quotes, these quotes have changed the life of millions of people across the global.
1) “If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost.”
2) “Every choice you make has an end result.”
3) “If you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.”
4) “It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.”
5) “Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.”
