I first read See You at the Top (Zig Ziglar’s classic first book) over Christmas one year during college. I had heard of Zig, and checked out the book from the library. I took pages of notes since I couldn’t write in the book. I still have the notes. Soon after, I started listening to Zig’s [...]
This week’s Resource Recommendation is Born to Win by Zig Ziglar and Tom Ziglar. Let me start by saying I am a 100% Zig Ziglar fan, so by definition, this review will be biased. I’ve read much of Zig’s writing throughout my professional life, listened to him speak, both live and on tapes (yes, cassette tapes) [...]
I didn’t remember who Harry Browne was, or that he ran for U.S. President as the Libertarian candidate in both 1996 and 2000. When I read his quotation though, I knew I wanted to share it with you. I hope you choose to read on . . . “You don’t have to buy [...]
Living in Indianapolis, and being a sports fan, makes it easy to like Mario Andretti. Mario won one Indianapolis 500 (in 1967) and came close to winning several others. Mario won many accolades in his racing career, including being named by the Associated Press as the Racer of the Century in 2000. In other words, [...]
Today’s Resource Recommendation is Doing the Impossible: The 25 Laws for Doing the Impossible by Patrick Bet-David. I’m not exactly sure how this book ended up in my Amazon shopping cart and then in a box on my desk. I don’t know nor had never heard of the author and don’t remember someone referring it [...]
Helen Hayes is best known as a legendary actress. Today’s quotation shows her to be more than a talented pretty face, but someone who was wise, at least in part, because she listened to her mother (which I’ve generally found to be pretty good advice, in itself). “My mother drew a distinction between achievement and [...]
There are lots of reasons this is a great time of year. While no reason can top Christmas itself, I also like this time of year because, if even for just a few days, more people think like achievers. If even for a brief time, people are thinking about goal setting and how to achieve [...]
I grew up on a farm, so I know what it is like to work hard physically. Many times I’ve started working before dawn and finished long after dark. I know what it feels like to be physically dog tired. And . . . in my work now, there are days I am every bit [...]
Last night, Duke University’s men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski won his 903rd game. It’s the most of any men’s college basketball coach ever (Tennessee’s Pat Summitt has over 1000 wins coaching women’s college basketball). He’s been coaching for 37 years. He’s won 13 Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, was named National Coach of the Year 12 [...]
A blood transfusion is a process of receiving blood products into your blood stream intravenously. In the past, whole blood was introduced into the patient’s blood stream. Today, typically, particular blood parts like red blood cells or plasma are injected as needed. In non-technical terms, blood (or blood parts) is injected into someone’s blood stream [...]
