Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on our own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths (Proverbs 3:5,6).
John Wooden was a committed Christian so I know that these two short verses from Proverbs were a significant part of his world view. The quotes that follow also shed light on his philosophy of life and coaching.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.
Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of
Self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the
Best you are capable of becoming.
Be a gentleman at all times.
Never criticize, nag, or razz a team-mate.
Be a team player always.
Never be selfish, jealous, envious or egotistical.
Earn the right to be proud and confident.
Never expect favors, alibi or make excuses.
Never lose faith or patience.
Courtesy and politeness are a small price to pay for the good will and affection of others.
Acquire peace of mind by becoming the best that you are capable of becoming.
It is amazing how much can be accomplished if no one cares who gets the credit.
Success is never final.
Failure is never fatal.
It's courage that counts. --Winston Churchill
Our Father's Blessings,
Tom
