John Wooden's Strategy To Find Happiness.
This is Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!
As part of my own leadership and speaker training, I have
been able to learn about the life of one of the great men who has lived on this
earth. As the top division one basketball coach for UCLA, he not only coached
his players on the court but also in life. Following are 9 promises that he
worked everyday to live by. I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I have.
Promise Yourself To:
1. Talk of health, happiness, and prosperity as often as
possible.
2. Show all of your friends that there is something special
in them that you value.3. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best from yourself and others.
4. Be just as enthusiastic about other people's success as you are about your own.
5. Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
6. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements in the future.
7. Wear a cheerful appearance at all times and give every person that you meet a smile.
8. Give so much time improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
9. Be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit trouble to press on you.
At age 92, John Wooden was still working on improving his life and his character. He was a guy who led himself before trying to lead someone else. He passed away at age 99 in 2010, but his values, teachings, and influence live on.
