We tell ourselves stories in order to live.  ~ Joan Didion

Remember and repeat - Zig Ziglar

The world is mourning the loss of Zig Ziglar this morning.  It's sad when someone dies, even if they are old and ready to go.  But there is such a warm image associated with Zig Ziglar.

I never heard him speak, but I have read a lot about him.  Today my social media flows are full of his quotes.  A few have mentioned his life and his inspiration, but I am surrounded by his wonderful messages.

And this is what I asked of my readers this morning in the Pivotal Public Speaking ezine.  

 

As a speaker, how will you be remembered?  One of the goals, is, after all, to be remembered - specifically to be remembered and repeated.  What are we repeating today?  Zig's "quotes".

While there is a myriad of strategies we can use to be repeated and remembered, one of them is creating sound bytes of our messages.  Call them headlines if you will.  But if we make them memorable, then we give our audiences something to remember ... and repeat!   

"Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful."

-- Norman Vincent Peale

"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."

Jim Rohn

"Ultimately, we must learn to trust ourselves. When we do this intimately and intelligently, the world opens full of meaning before us. We find that we ourselves are the doorway to a fathomless understanding of the source of life itself. We need only to learn to walk through it."

-- James Thornton

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved."
