📘 'Wooden' by John Wooden

🧵 1/4 #threadstorm

Today we delve into the mind and words of a master of the basketball court…

John Wooden was a super successful basketball coach and won all sorts, and here we have some reflections and observations from on and off the court.

First up, this is something his Dad gave him to see him right in life. On the one side of a piece of paper was a verse by a reverend, and on the other, a 'creed' of Seven Things to Do:

Be true to yourself.
Help others.
Make each day your masterpiece.
Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
Make friendship a fine art.
Build a shelter against a rainy day.
Pray for guidance and count and give thanks for your blessings every day.

As Wooden points out, no-one is an 'overachiever', we're all just underachievers to varying degrees. Here are Eight suggestions For Succeeding:

Fear no opponent. Respect every opponent.
Remember, it’s the perfection of the smallest details that make big things happen.
Keep in mind that hustle makes up for many a mistake.
Be more interested in character than reputation.
Be quick, but don’t hurry.
Understand that the harder you work, the more luck you will have.
Know that valid self-analysis is crucial for improvement.
Remember that there is no substitute for hard work and careful planning. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Nine Promises for Happiness

Promise yourself that you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible
Promise yourself to make all your friends know there is something in them that is special and that you value
Promise to think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best in yourself and others
Promise to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind
Promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements in the future
Promise to wear a cheerful appearance at all times and give every person you meet a smile
Promise to give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others
Promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit trouble to press on you
