These thoughts from John Wooden, former UCLA head coach and 10-time national champion.
Success is a peace of mind which is a direct result of...knowing that you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.
Class is an intangible quality which commands, rather than demands, the respect of others.
If you’re not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes.
Don’t mistake activity for achievement —practice it the right way.
Without organization and leadership toward a realistic goal, there is no chance of realizing more than a small percentage of your potential.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
