Dwayne Pingston is paralyzed from the waist down - but not immobilized anywhere. In 1983, when he was only nineteen years old, he avoided a head-on collision by swerving sharply to his right. In the process he hit the shoulder of the road and was thrown from the car.
Challenge or Paralysis?
Was It An Upset?
I'm going back in time for this story, but it is such a great example, I hope you will indulge me. The score was 17-15 and Northwestern had just beaten Notre Dame to start the 1995 football season. At the time, everyone screamed what a big upset it was, that it was a fluke, an aberration, a can't-happen-but-did type of incident.

Show #333: How to require and expect more from yourself
Welcome to The Ziglar show and episode #333, “How to require and expect more from yourself.” Our quote is one you’ve probably heard, but I want you to hear it again, and take it captive; Henry Ford: 'Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.
You Were Born to Win
You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.
The Born to Win philosophy is both “profoundly simple” and “simply profound.” The concept that you have to plan to win and prepare to win before you can expect to win is simple, but simple doesn’t mean it’s necessarily easy, and when you dig a little deeper, you understand just how profound it really is. YOU really are born to win! Find out how you can prepare yourself for success and change your world:
