Zig Ziglar Said, “You Are At The Top” When

Zig Ziglar has been one of my inspirations over the years. His electric personality has been adored by millions all over the world. I was looking through one of my old Ziglar books and I thought that for those of you who haven’t read his book “Over the Top”, you might enjoy this. 

 Excerpt from Zig Ziglar’s Book “Over The Top”

Zig Ziglar said “You are at the top when…”

1. You clearly understand that failure is an event, not a person; that yesterday ended last night and today is your brand-new day.

2. You have made friends with your past, are focused on the present, and optimistic about your future.

3. You know that success (a win) doesn’t make you, and a failure (a loss) doesn’t break you.

4. You are filled with faith, hope, and love; and live without anger, greed, guilt, envy, or thoughts of revenge.

5. You are mature enough to delay gratification and shift your focus from your rights to your responsibilities.

6. You have made friends of your adversaries, and have gained the love and respect of those who know you best.

7. You understand that others can give you pleasure, but genuine happiness comes when you do things for others.

8. You are pleasant to the grouch; courteous to the rude and generous to the needy.

9. You love the unlovable, give hope to the hopeless, friendship to the friendless, and encouragement to the discouraged.

10. You can look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion, and up with gratitude.
