Zig Ziglar passed away at 86

As of this morning - November 28, 2012 - one of the greatest motivational speakers, Zig Ziglar, has passed away.

Zig and his wife Jean have lived in Plano, Texas over the past years, and he has left his son, Tom as CEO of Ziglar, Inc.

In his memory, here are a few pieces of advice from Zig himself.

“Of course motivation is not permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a regular basis.”  

“Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.”  

“The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now”  

“When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.”
