Summary
Today, Zig Ziglar shares a valuable insight about the wisdom of the ages — that there is no free lunch. There is definitely a price to pay to travel the highway of success. Great accomplishments do not spring out of nowhere, but a byproduct of blisters, sweat, and tears or hard work.
America was built by people who worked and pulled on the oars, and not by those who rested on the oars. Work is the foundation of all prosperity and success. In other words, you’ve got to do more than simply getting an education. As he says, “The most beautiful philosophy in the world won’t work if you won’t.”

| 0:38.6 | .com. We are keeping our take action series going today with Mr. Zig Ziglar |
| 0:43.9 | who's going to remind you that there is no such thing as a free lunch. You're |
| 0:50.0 | going to have to do some work. Whatever you get out is what you put in. You cannot |
| 0:57.3 | have an aversion to work. Whatever you want, you're going to create it through |
| 1:01.6 | your work. This ain't just law of attraction stuff where you just think about it and |

| 1:21.6 | Many years ago a wise old king called all of his wise men together and he said I |
| 1:26.8 | wanted to go out and compile for me the wisdom of the ages. I wanted to put it |
| 1:31.5 | in bound book form so we can leave it to posterity. They went out and worked |
| 1:36.6 | a long time. They came back and they had 12 huge volumes and the wise old king |

| 2:05.5 | and he said now that's it that is truly the wisdom of the ages and as soon as |
| 2:10.7 | all men everywhere learn this we will have solved the many of our problems. The |
| 2:16.0 | sonnest simply said there ain't no free lunch. |
