When we’ve gone down the wrong road for a long time, even destructive habits can feel very comfortable. - Zig Ziglar

The usual devastating put-downs imply that a person is basically bad, rather than that he is a person who sometimes does bad things. Obviously, there is a vast difference between a "bad" person and a person who does something bad. Besides, failure is an event, it is not a person — yesterday ended last night.

When I am on tour, a lot of times the media will ask me, “Mr. Ziglar, is it really true that you could sell anybody anything?” That’s insane. Only a con artist can sell anybody anything. The real professional can only sell those things he or she truly believes are going to benefit the prospect more than the money they will receive will benefit the professional.

From wherever you are, you can go anywhere you want to go if you pick the right roads to travel.
