"When I was born, the doctor handed me to my mother and said, 'Mrs. Ziglar, you have a perfectly fine, healthy baby boy.'  Nine days later he picked me up and sadly shook his head, indicating that I was dead.  Yes, I died when I was nine days old.  However, my family has told me that my grandmother walked to me, picked me up, held me in her hands , and started talking to me.  Of course, we all know that she really was not talking to me....and in a matter of seconds breath came back into my body; at age seventy-five it's obvious I lived."
