Zig Ziglar

Wednesday night, it bothered me so badly when I claimed to be a man of integrity, I could not sleep.

This morning, when I read it again, Laurie, I knew I had to call you and tell you something.

You see, Laurie, I bought the set of tapes and paid for them, his whole How to Stay Motivated series.

And he said, when I got back home, there in the bottom of my bag were the videotapes developing the qualities of success.

And he said, I hadn't paid for them.

And I'm embarrassed about it.

I'm calling you to tell you I want to pay for them.

And Laurie said, oh, don't be embarrassed about it.

He said, accidents happen to everybody.

Long pause.

Laurie, it was not an accident.

When nobody was looking, I put them in the bottom of my bag.

You see, folks, the eyes are the windows of the soul.

You cannot look yourself in the eye and claim one thing and then behave in an entirely different way and it not get to you.

I'm talking life-changing stuff.

That's what this is all about.

Do it every day for 30 days.

Then at the end of 30 days, pick the strongest quality which you have.

And let's say that you are a very good positive thinker.

But let's say that your organization skills can use some help.
