Inspirations by Zig Ziglar

You don’t drown by falling in water, you drown when you stay there.You can do it.Automobile University—build winning attitude and stay motivated.Tomorrow will be better.Love you.I have faith in you.I’m doing better than good!You can’t climb a smooth mountain, it has to have rough edges.

Thoughts from Zig Ziglar

It is better to train and lose employees than not train and keep them.Stress—a little is good, too much is harmful; and it effects job, relationships, health, etc.Respond is positive, react is negative.Every failure is not always bad, it is a valley of the mountain.Environment will improve if you think positive.What you send out, you will get back.What you say impacts others—for the good or bad.You have to identify the problem before it can be solved.Once trust is lost, it is very hard to regain.
