I couldn't help but notice that he was wrong. wedding ring on this finger now I looked at it for a moment I said friend, you put the wedding ring on the wrong finger he said yes, I married the wrong woman I don't know if he did it or not, but I'm completely convinced that the Most people I have a misconception about what it takes to be successful and then what success is and what life is and I would like, for these next few minutes, to descend into your mind tonight to descend into your emotions.

To motivate you I am going to tell you some things that are going to have an impact and in fact will not be the same when you get up from your seats at the end of this afternoon on your trip to Acapulco there were several things involved. First, you had a very specific goal, second, you had a time limit, and third, you listed the obstacles, the things you had to do in order to travel to Acapulco. Tonight I will talk to you about goals, their four basic reasons. people don't have number one goals they haven't been sold my friends I'm glad I can sell them why they have to have them I didn't say I wanted to I didn't say I was going to try I didn't say I hope to plan I said I'll explain why you should have them.

The second reason why many people don't have goals is because they don't know how to set them. I will give you a basic formula to set those goals that will be precise if you follow them. The third reason why many people don't have goals is that they are afraid. You see there is a certain amount of risk involved when you say this. I'll do it even if you do. Don't tell anyone that when you set a goal there is a certain amount of risk involved, so the fourth reason why many people don't have goals is because they have a bad self-image, if you don't believe you deserve success. you deserve a bigger home be a million dollar producer have an exceptional partner are beautiful, well disciplined and productive children if you don't believe you deserve them then you will do things that will prevent you from getting them let's look at number one let's sell him the idea of ​​heaven , what importance Yale University in 1953 they did a study of graduating seniors they discovered that of the graduating seniors only 3% of the Ummah had defined predetermined written goals 20 years later they did another survey of Those seniors who had graduated found that the 3% who had committed their goals to writing had achieved more than the 97% who had not written them down.
What about you personally, if you have your goals set? Are you a significant specific or are you? a wandering generality our goals are necessary I'm going to say emphatically yes, can you imagine the chairman of the board of directors of General Motors and someone comes up to him and tells him how you became chairman of the board of directors of General Motors? Do you really think he said it right? I just got to work, they started promoting first thing in the morning. Here, you know. Here I am the chairman of the board of directors of General Motors.
I think you know that's not the way it happened. How about you? Are you a wandering generality or are you a meaningful specific? How many of you are in the sales world? Would you mind raising your hands? Please, one of the main problems we have in the sales world, many times the salesperson cannot sell and even though they are out there physically, what they say mentally is that I need to be home with the family and then When they are physically at home with the family, they mentally say that I should be in the field selling, and when they are in the field, they are really back home and when they are back home they are really in the field in Maine. there was nowhere nowadays people complain about lack of time it's not lack of time that's the problem it's lack of direction are you wandering in general?
Or are you a significant specific? Howard Hill was some of the greatest archer who ever lived killed a buffalo with a bow and arrow killed a Bengal tiger with a bow and arrow won 281 consecutive tournaments was never defeated in competitions like Young, I've seen Howard Hill in newsreels from 50 feet to aim perfectly and split the center of that bullseye perfectly in the center and yet I could take the next arrow and literally split the first one, an incredible display of skill and yet I'm going to look at you in the center and tell yourself I could spend 20 minutes with you and at the end of those 20 minutes, dick, I could make any man in this audience or any woman in this audience hit the mark more consistently than Howard Hill.
On the best day he had ever given us, we blindfolded Howard Hill and turned him around so he didn't know which way he was looking and you, quite obviously, laugh and say a sign of that nonsense, of course, right? How could a man hit a target he couldn't? Look, that's a very good question. Here's another one. How could you achieve a goal you don't have? You have one. Are you a wandering generality or are you a meaningful specific? Are you going to work tomorrow because that's what you did yesterday? If that's the reason. you leave tomorrow you won't be as good tomorrow as you were yesterday because you're two days older and you're no closer to the goal you don't have you should have those goals a lot of people don't have goals because I'm afraid I want to skip one and talk about this one just for the sake of it. one moment.
Tomorrow I will leave on a plane to Toledo, Ohio. I suppose that since 1102 some of those planes go down faster than they go up, it is dangerous for that plane. to fly you see in the newspapers where the boats leave the port and you see where some of them sink it is dangerous that the boat is in the ocean you read where people rent their houses and you see that the people who rented the house break it up it is dangerous let someone move into your house, but the engineers tell me it's more dangerous for that plane to stay on the ground because it will rust faster than it will wear out in the sky, they tell me that ship will pick up more barnacles in the harbor and it becomes unnavigable faster than it would when sailing on the high seas and they tell me that that house remains empty and that it will deteriorate faster than if you don't have someone living in that house, plus airplanes are built to play boats . built to navigate houses are built to live and man 2 was built for a purpose, he was designed to achieve it, but he is designed for success, he has endowed them with the seeds of greatness and the greatest danger we have as human beings is when we do nothing in Oh, stop, 100 25 year olds on any street in the USA.
Follow them until they are 65 years old and of those who are still alive you will discover that only five of them have been successful naturally, it is almost as if they were determined in life. fail, but I also think one of the reasons is that most people don't understand this thing called money. I think it's okay to have money as one of your goals. From time to time I talk to people and they tell me: well, I don't want to win. a lot of money you know I think a man or a woman would say that they would lie about other things also many people don't have it because they don't understand it they talk about hard money it's not even cold hard soft warm feels good beautifully colored don't look says that my redhead From here he once told me wait a minute honey I have to go change problems because what I wear more matches what you wear, in fact it combines very well with If there was no time, I will have some of my Christian freedoms, they will adjust their halos and they will save Zig, how do you reconcile all that money talk with Christianity?
I say it's easy, I think God did the damage to the multitude of him, I'm not saying it. your group I read my Bible and it tells me that Jacob was a millionaire Moses was a millionaire Solomon the richest man who ever lived an old Joel was not qualified for the food stamp program, if you know what I mean, there is no right to receive money for a matter of In fact, I can get too much money unless money gets you. You know that Solomon told us: "Please asked. See that he who seeks silver will never be satisfied with silver.
That money becomes your God. You have a problem. You will never have enough. I know that is true because in the last two years five billionaires have died in Dallas, someone said I wonder how much money Howard Hughes really left and someone else said he left it all, so if someone asks you how much you're going to leave, say the same thing as Howard Hughes, now you're saying truthfully having said all that let me see if I can put it back together I believe and will make this statement 40 times in my book that you get everything you want in life if We will simply help other people get what they want e.g.
If you are a salesperson, our saleswoman, if you sell a product that solves a problem, then you are helping someone else get what they want, which is the solution to the problem. You get what you want and what you deserve if you are in management. and your productivity and the productivity of your people is important to your income if you can train enthusiasts I motivate your people to succeed then your rewards will be greater. You will achieve everything in life, you will not achieve it if you help other people enough to get what they want. Look, we can get what we want if we can give you some thoughts, some ideas, some

motivation

or some encouragement, if we can actually let you. something so that when you come home tonight you will be a better man or a better woman or a better boy or a better girl then you will be more successful tomorrow yes, there is danger in setting goals but there is infinitely more danger in not setting them than a Many people don't. really knows how to set goals.
I like to share some lives with you. I started writing this book. I started writing this book. I won't get excited. I put some words there. You can go wherever you want. to go you can do what you want to do you can be how you want to be man I wrote those words and I said now that's pretty good I actually started talking to myself, which is perfectly fine, it's fine even to respond, but if you ever find yourself saying eh, so the answer is you have a problem, well, he called me with a problem.
You know I was saying huh, because when I said you can be whatever you want to be, I looked down and there was a 41 inch waist, 202 pound Ziggler and it occurred to me that one of these days I might run into some of you and I might see a sample of this conversation. I could imagine you saying cygwin, do you believe those things? You're right, imagine what you say, do you think? Although then I could imagine you sticking your finger in that 41-inch waist and saying Sigler, do you really believe all that? And then I was going to have to say well, you know us at the office, we had some.
Literary license from time to time, but I knew I had to make a decision. I once had to get those words out of there. You can be whatever you want to be or add do something about me that will always make my son 8 years old. years at that time and I think every parent should be able to do it with their kids until they are at least 12, the narrator was gone and I couldn't even catch mine, but the last straw was when that my redhead kept telling me to hold my stomach, he and I were already doing that, so I went to Cooper's clinic. knock cover is the guy who wrote the book aerobics when you see someone running you can be sure it's Kenneth Cooper who had an influence on him well it's a five and a half hour test the first thing youPortland, around 12:30 or 1:00 sharp, was scheduled to speak, I believe.
It was 45 and I was running and as I was running on that campus I looked around, some of the kids were laying on my kits reading somewhere studying somewhere courting somewhere just relaxing here comes old as the race and Bob, ya You know, the sweat running down my back. sweat running down my legs you know and for the first time that day I realized that they taught me hey for the first time that day after Norman doesn't know I was having the time of my life I realized that I was enjoying every step I was taking today at 50 years old.
I can run two miles faster than 98% of college kids in America. I am stronger than I was a quarter of a century ago. I can do things I couldn't have done. dreamed of doing just a few years ago I maintain that you do not pay the price for good help you fully enjoy the price you pay the price you pay the price of failure you pay the the price of a poor marriage you enjoy the price of a good one you enjoy the price of success you only look at the people who have achieved it and those who haven't I think we have to change our vocabulary sylia Gemma I I don't think you pay the price.
I know you enjoy the price and I think we need to change our vocabulary. Elite talking about changing an attitude in my mind. Look, that's what we're talking about here at these PMA rallies. Changing the attitude we live. Basically, in a negative world, an overweight person sits at the table and says that everything I eat turns into fat. Well, that's negative. Mother sent her son to school early. Don't get run over. That's negative. We live in a negative world and we become a part of it. of what surrounds us, did you know that two thirds of medical students acquire the symptoms of the disease they study, the common cold, we know that if we receive medical treatment, the average life of a cold is one week if we do not receive it ? medical treatment the average life of a cold is seven days they don't know what causes a cold they don't know what makes it happy but they do know who gets it the odds are ten to one that when you get a cold it's because you're emotionally depressed you have stinky thoughts which, if they continue long enough, will lead to hardening of attitudes, you become part of who you are, in the classic case, you take a boy or girl from the south and send them north and in a matter of months they will learn an accent , you may have noticed or you can take a boy or girl from the north and send them to the south and in a matter of months we will have them talking normally, you will become part of what you are close to what we can do well, let me give you another case classic reported in the July 1976 issue of Success Unlimited magazine in Israel there were a large number of immigrants from the East and a large number of immigrants from Europe arrived at approximately At the same time they did an evaluation of the IQ in both groups, the IQ The average IQ of children from the East was 85, the average IQ of children from Europe was 105.
On the surface, it seems that European Jewish children are smarter, but they put all these children together in the van. tail where the direction is positive where the input is you can do it where the dedication is complete where they build

motivation

the drive the direction is fantastic and four years later the average IQ was exactly the same 115 you can change you can grow the best message I could give you is that one simple thing yes you can grow I said with all my heart I know in my mind that man was designed for achievement that he is designed for success that he is gifted with the seeds of greatness you can start from where you are with what you always have and when you build on a moral foundation.
I believe you can get anything you really want. You will simply help other people get what they want. I'm going to share a story with you. I think it's the best story I've ever heard in my life. The story goes back almost 13 years. I was weakened in Kansas City and there I met a man. His name burns high. He is more than a brand. It's a brother he's in the audience right here burned alive Tito get up brother burn burn illogical he told me this story he says egg when our son was born the joy had no limits because we had already had two daughters now we had our son the family was complete but he said that It was a long time before we knew something was wrong because his head was hanging too limp on the right side of his body, but the GP said he would get over it in time.
We knew better, so we took him to a specialist and the specialist diagnosed his condition. like a reverse of beef and I treated him for that but he said we knew Ziggy who was more serious, we took him to one of the best specialists in Canada and after a thorough examination the specialist said this boy has cerebral palsy and will never have it. be able to walk or talk or counter you. I'm going to suggest that you put him in an institution for his own sake and for the sake of the date. Normal family members. Brother Byrne looked at me and said, "You know Zig." I'm not a fire, I'm a salesman.
I couldn't handle the idea that my son was going to grow up a vegetable, so we took him to another doctor who told us the same thing and then another and another and another and another until he was 30. The doctors said no. there is hope and then they heard from a Dr. Pearlstein in Chicago they got an alternate appointment so that when someone else canceled they could have that appointment because dr. Pearlstein was booked two years and 11 days later a little boy from Australia canceled the plane went to Chicago dr. Pearlstein examined David perhaps like no child had ever been examined before and when he was done he said this child has cerebral palsy and will never be able to walk or talk or count to ten, he will listen to the prophets, but he said, I want you to know that I am NOT conscious. of the problem, I am aware of the solution and yes, I believe there is something that can be done for this boy if you are willing to do your part well, it obviously burns down any Lane logic and the doctor tells us what. what to do, we will do anything, the doctor, the therapist and the nurses explained it in detail in my new detail, they said: you will have to push this child beyond all human resistance, then you will have to push him a little more. to work him until he falls over, then you'll have to pick him up and work some more.
You have to understand that there is no way to stop it. The point is that if you ever stop, he comes back. You have to understand that it can take months or even. years in which you will not be able to detect any changes, but you must stay and one last thing, never give therapy in the presence of another cerebral palsy victim because if he sees her taking therapy, he will inadvertently catch those awkward movements you make. Look, we become part of what's around us, whether it's tomorrow, our Amaro, whether it's good or bad, stay with it long enough and it will rub off on you.
The optics went home. They built a small gym at the base of their house. They hired a physical therapist. and bodybuilding him, it took many months, but one day David Lopsy was able to move the length of his own body. It took him several years. One day, the therapist called Bernie at home and said, I think David is ready, and Bernie rushed over to David Leipzig. He was down in the basement and a little angry, preparing to do a push-up, that little body began to rise in the air. The emotional and physical effort was so great that centimeters of skin on that little body dried up when that push from mom and dad finished, the little one David, the sisters and the therapist, and so they all broke down and shed those tears that so eloquently say that happiness is not pleasure, happiness is victory, the story, ladies and gentlemen, is even more remarkable when we know that one of The major universities in the United States examined this child and said that there is no motor connection with the right side of his body.
He has no sense of balance. He will have extreme difficulty even walking and standing up straight. He will never be able to swim or skate. or bike ride On October 23, 1971, my wife and I had the privilege of flying to Winnipeg, Canada to attend little Dave's bar mitzvah. How I wish the world's television cameras had been clearly focused on what we were seeing as this little guy? The boy walked to the front of the synagogue tall, straight and strong. I wish you could have listened to him as he listened to the words that brought him to manhood from the faith of his ancestors.
I wish you could have seen what we saw knowing what he knew because, you see, at that time he had done up to eleven hundred push-ups in a single day. He ran up to six miles without stopping. He was golfing in the 80s. One of the best table tennis players in Winnipeg, Canada. he had entered as a seventh grade student. John's Ravens Court School for Worthless Boys for the kid who was never going to be able to count to ten did pretty well in ninth grade math. February 1974 he qualified for a $100,000 ordinary life insurance policy, as far as we know, the first ever.
This is because David's story is not told in an elevated way because it involves many of the principles that I believe begins with the right foundation of honesty, character, faith and loyalty, and yes, the love that you see every night that this kid used to have. He put on the braces and every night he said, Dad, do we have to put them on tonight? o mom, can't we just call it quits tonight? or do we have to put it so tight? And you, mothers and fathers, know what I'm talking about when you have a little child with tears running down his cheeks but because you loved him so much you didn't listen to the tears of a moment because you wanted to see the lantern of life, ladies and gentlemen, of what It is really about love because It is seen that many of us, as parents, are reluctant to do for the child what is best for him because we fear that that child may deny us his vote without knowing that, in the long term, the best way to guaranteeing your love is showing your love.
It is our best interest. I tell the story of David Lighting because he involves many of the principles in which I believe there was a beautiful relationship with others. The doctors and nurses, you see, all had a part. The therapists all had a part. We do not climb the high mountain alone, it is in conjunction with others that we truly achieve the most important things in mind. That's why I like to tell the story of Baby Lotzie because it's a story of cooperation. I tell the story because it is a story of goals. big lifelong goals goals monthly goals weekly goals hourly goals I even tell the story of David Terrible because it involves a lot of attitude you talk about attitude this kid since he was too little to carry he used to have his own cassette player and every day that little mind was saved with the good messages that clean the pure the powerful the positive again and again and again you can do it son, you can do it so that you live in a world so negative that unless we deliberately read the good books daily to unless we deliberately feed our minds with those motivational recordings that essentially remind us over and over again in a negative world that we ourselves can be positive if we have the positive input.
Yes, I tell Naveen's story live because I think that's how it is. a lot to do with one of those things that many times we, as individuals, have attendees overlook as a matter of curiosity and I'm almost done, of course, you know, when the American Baptists finally say that's not it. It necessarily means admitting that it simply means we are getting closer, but I tell David's story because it emphasizes many of the things I believe. I'm just curious how many of you had already noticed this chrome palm sitting here above me, that's amazing, you know? I've noticed something when I get on a plane or this part almost without exception, I'm the only passenger who has one, so I have to assume they must be scared.
I believe, I believe this. I think this. pump is going to sum up what I want to say about life and what I want to say about David. Lunch got a couple of good friends in south Alabama. Their names are Bernard Haygood and Jimmy Glynn. They were riding through the hills of southern Alabama. day and got a little thirsty, they stopped behind this old abandoned farmhouse that Bernard was driving, jumped out, ran to this old pump, grabbed the handle and turned the pump on now just as a matter of curiosity, how many of you are good?
Have people here in the big city ever used one of these old water pumps today hey that's great, well it was hot it was August. Oh, Bernard wanted to drink water. Navin had been pumping for a couple of minutes and said Jimmy better get that. old bucket over there and get some water out of that stream, we're going to have to prime the pump. How many of you know what I'm talking about when I say they've primed the pump for you non-poppers? That just means you have to put something in here before you can get something out here.
I see many people stand in front of the stove of life and say stove, now give me a little heat and then I will add some firewood many times the secretary. He says boss, give me a raise and then I will start showing up to work on time. Many times a student will say thatthe teacher only gives me a passing grade this semester, although my ship will wreck me if I don't have a passing grade and next. semester, I guarantee that I will study. Can you imagine the farmer saying, Lord, give me a harvest this year and I promise that I will plant next to you.
No, it doesn't work that way. First of all, you have to put something in? before you can get anything out, well, Oh, Bernard wanted that drink of water, I mean, it's hot in south Alabama and he was just pumping and pumping, you know, and I'll tell you the sweat was starting to come out and he. He said you know, Jim said, don't we send water there? No, Jim, who said it's still Bernard, you know, in south Alabama, well, sir, we need it and we're glad they do it because you see the deeper the well, the fresher, the cleaner, the sweeter.
The purer, the better the water tastes and isn't that the story of life, isn't it true that that perspective where you really have to work harder when you finally make that sale, isn't it true that that's the one that really gives them the greatest satisfaction, isn't it? Isn't it true, ladies and gentlemen, that the boy or girl that was available to every Tom Dick and Harry or Mary Sue and Jane fell apart, those boys and girls are? not the ones who gamble and a husband you wanted, the kind of wife, isn't it true that the things in life that have value, you have to inhale a little for a wide open home, the man wanted that drink of water, I mean , by then he?
I was really sweating, but you know there's always the question of how much do you expect to win a new test for a drink of water and finally open heart right through the bag and you said Jimmy then just sitting in the water down there Jimmy said don't stop, but it's Well, don't stop, if you stop, go down to the bottom and then you'll have to start again and won't you? Look, there's no way you can look at that pump and say yeah, just two more strokes and I've got it because you might have to pump another ten minutes.
There's no way you can watch. in that prospect's head and I say yeah, just two more closes and I got it because you know it could really take a lot of pumping, but we know this, we know that if we explode enough, hard enough and with enough enthusiasm, we will eventually get the reward . that follows the effort well and always brings the reward and if you notice that once you achieve it, it appears, then all you have to do is keep a little relief, constant pressure on it and man, you don't get bored and you know .
What to do, isn't it true that when things are good they get better and when they are bad they get worse and it has nothing to do with what is happening out there, it has everything to do with what is happening between your ears? Look, your business is never good or bad out there, your business is good right here, between your two ears, and if you're thinking, your business will be in exactly the same shape. I tell the story of the bomb because that too. says something about David Lyfe chutzpah for a solid winner David said he woke up an hour before anyone else in the family the windshield in Winnipeg Canada gets up to 80 degrees below zero he put on those skates he literally crawled onto the frozen ice and it took him a whole winter learning to stand, then he skated on the neighborhood hockey team, now tell him sternly, because you see, it wasn't easy, but I think if you talked to David Lofty today, he would tell you. that you don't pay the price for good health you enjoy that award now 10 for the story because you see there today is a sequel to the story I was talking about in Amarillo a young couple sitting in the front row were visibly moved by the story and they came to see me and they obtained the address of the doctor who had treated dr.
In Pearle Steam's place when she died, they went to Chicago and this doctor examined his only child, who they said had cerebral palsy. The girl was approximately 18 months old. This doctor examined his little girl very carefully and said that this girl does have cerebral palsy. It was a misdiagnosis, she was simply born prematurely, today she has all the symptoms of cerebral palsy because they have been treating her for the disease and now she has acquired all the symptoms, they started treating her like a normal, beautiful, happy and moving girl today . everything around you becomes part of what surrounds you, the way we treat people becomes tremendously important, you know, friends, I have had so many people to be so nice to in my life.
I know that for the first two and a half years sold I was almost a complete failure, a man called PC Merrill came and said, in essence, you can do it and made me believe it before the year was out. I was number two among more than 7,000 sellers. My whole life changed because the man said. To me you can take it, oh I wish I could look at you here in the center of my ass and say you can do it. I am convinced that God will make you believe in yourself because you are unique, there have been more than 10 billion people. to live on the face of this earth there has never been another you believe in your Tamaki you would believe in what you are doing the company you represent the product you sell if you are a seller you believe in our great country is the greatest land on the face of this earth and of infinitely more importance than anything I or any other speaker who ever addresses you says: "believe in Almighty God," because if you do, I will not end up wishing you a good day. close guaranteeing you a good door always and I will truly see you at the top thank you and God bless you Zig Ziglar ladies and gentlemen most valuable good I know this information the truth
