The article was marked with a neutrality check request. It seems quite NPOV. If his description as highly succesful - he evidently is, but finding reliable sources to back that up may be a problem - is contested, this link may be helpful. [1] --Kizor 07:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request interpretation for quote

Is the following text from the article a verbatim quote?

"For those who say they know me know I'm focused on ma cream, player you come between you'd better focus on the beam."

If so, how does one parse this sentence? It seems to be missing some punctuation. Perhaps it was said like the following [with several words to be implied by the hearer]?

"For those who say they know me, know I'm focused on ma cream. Player, [if] you come between [me and ma cream], [then] you'd better focus on the beam."

What is "ma cream"? "Player" of what? Focus on what beam? Ac44ck 19:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] that quote is not from zig ziglar!

I am new to Wiki and don't know how to edit. Could someone please remove the quote about bossing, flossing, and frosting? This is a line from a popular hiphop song, and NOT from good ole Zig.

Editing the article isn't more difficult than editing this discussion page. Your contribution here has demonstrated that you already know enough about editing to make the change which you suggest. Be bold. -- Ac44ck 19:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Well I made the edit. Then someone came back and changed it. That quote is not from Ziglar. Period. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.130.27.85 (talk) 18:55, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your effort and persistence.

Unhappily, Bigtrick gave no rationale for this reversion (from the main article's "history" page): "01:06, 9 September 2007 Bigtrick".

That you gave an explanation here is good: "18:57, 10 September 2007 74.130.27.85"

A series of unexplained reversions and counter-reversions might have ensued otherwise.

Everyone may not refer to the talk page to see why something was deleted from the article. In retrospect, some explanation here might have prevented the reversion: "14:59, 3 September 2007 74.130.2.136". But you did good to make the change.

Hopefully, everyone is on the same page now.

Bravo on your first edit!
