Quotes by Chuck Zamora
 
A lesson in life:
Learn how to waltz with those who want to dance.
A lesson in business:
Always let the customer lead.
 
When setting goals, remember to measure
Your results along the way.
For each success and each failure is a result:
Performance feedback!
One tells you what to keep on doing,
The other, what needs to be fixed or adjusted,
So you stay focused on the goal!
 
To be motivated, enthusiastic, and driven
Without self control is like lightening.
You don't know where it is going to strike.
The goal is to harness and concentrate
Your energies through self control,
So you become balanced and constructive.
 
Failure is a part of the success process.
Professional baseball players are paid
Millions of dollars to fail 70% of their time at bat.
Lesson to be learned:
Keep swinging the bat!
 
Life is a wonderful journey with many paths.
On the journey, take the path that challenges you to grow,
And then, grow inwardly,
Letting the natural beauty of what you have become
Shine outwardly
Like a beacon that others want to follow.
 
Attention to detail does not necessitate going slow,
as a matter of fact,
going slow on the job
may just be the fastest way to not having a job!
 
Leaders want people to connect the dots.
But in many cases, people can't;
Not because they lack the skill,
But because the leader has not given them
All the dots!
 
Everyone can see the mountain top.
A select few enjoy the view only because
they were willing to pay the price
to find the path and climb.
And that is the challenge, to find joy in the view
from the mountain top is the reward;
but we should also learn to enjoy, 
or at least, respect the climb.
 
When people are managed, they react.
When people are led, they rally.
 
A good lesson: Watch what goes into your mouth.
A better lesson: Watch what comes out of your mouth.
For words are shaped by thoughts,
And thoughts will shape your life.
 
In your business
There is product,
There is production,
There is profit,
Each of these pale to insignificance when compared to your people!
 
To develop your skills as a servant
Is a precursor to developing your skills as a leader.
 
A great tragedy in life is keeping score
Of all the times you've been wronged, hurt, betrayed.
A great blessing in life is forgiveness,
For forgiveness allows you to let go,
Providing a pathway to grow and glow.
 
Even in the darkest of times there is light,
When you look inside and fan the flame of hope. 


When you are addicted to life
It is hard to be addicted to drugs.
