Review: More than twenty years ago, this book, along with a great friend from the Church played a pivotal role in helping me to turn my life around. The book amazingly does help lift a person from the depths of despair and doubt. It's principles are easy to put into practice. I found Zig Zigglar's style to be entertaining, great fun--he makes it easy to stay motivated and focus on the most important principles in life that seem so easily lost. SEE YOU AT THE TOP made me laugh for the first time in such a long time. Now, I am refreshing my attitude with OVER THE TOP. I got the two-tape version. That was outstanding so I got the book and I'm not disappointed. I always wanted to thank Zig somehow, and I should have found a way to do that.

The premise is simple: We all hold the keys to our own success, and we deserve it. It is not accidental but deliberate and takes hard work. 1) Success starts with self-image because you are the only one who can make that possible. Before you convince anyone else, you have to convince yourself. 2) Successful people are ¡°Good Finders¡±; they look for the good in other people. ¡°You can have anything in your life, if you help others get what they want¡±. (page 57) 3) No goals = no game. Activity is not accomplishment. Don¡¯t be a wandering generality. Goals should be big, long range, daily and specific. 4) Unlimited possibilities. Records were meant to be broken. Until Roger Bannister ran the four-minute mile, most thought it was physically impossible. After his achievement, people broke the record constantly. 5) Work as a team. There is a limit to what you can accomplish by yourself. Example: Geese fly 72% farther by flying together. 6) Attitude is everything. It determines the outcome. While you cannot control the environment, you (and only you) can control your attitude. The pessimist says. ¡°I will believe it when I see it.¡± The optimist says, ¡°I will see it when I believe it.¡± (page 206) 7) Create good habits because habits define our lives. Example: The average teenage student watches 17,000 hours of television before they graduate high school. 8) Successful people enjoy their work. 9) Keep going. "The price of success is less than the price of failure". (page 33)

Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Not for Existentialists Review: You cause a lot of stress among people around you, and yet you want to improve your relationships. Do you think you can change? Transform, huh? The author might be just playing with your fancy. God created you to let you do your own thing. Your goal of life is to be creative, be original, to live like no one else, to explore the unknown. Stop negating yourself, stop live up to someone else's standards. Forget about these self-improving books. Be proud that you are no one else. Do your own thing. Let fortune decide the outcome.
