According to Ziglar, &#8220;America was discovered by a salesman. Christopher Columbus was looking for India and missed it by about 10,000 miles.

A leader without hope is an incurable cancer that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jimmorris.wordpress.com&amp;blog=607550&amp;post=80&amp;subd=jimmorris&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
