The Glade 4.0 :: View topic - John Wooden, 1910-2010

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.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.

-- John Wodden

I had no clue he was still with us. He had a good long life, honored for so many accomplishments, respected by the greats in the game, and was a class act. I remember seeing him interviewed shortly after the 88 game streak was broken. When asked what he thought about it, he said congratulatory words to the team that beat them, praised the young men who had contributed to the streak, then finished with, ''it will take the next team at least four years to beat it." Rest in peace Coach, you earned it.

What I didn't realize is that he had been a pretty good player before becoming a coach. Won a (voted) national championship with Purdue in 1932, as well as his state (Indiana) championship in high school. Played pro ball (while coaching on the side), and at one point made 134 consecutive free throws. Pretty interesting.

His Seven Point Creed. * Be true to yourself. * Make each day your masterpiece. * Help others. * Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible. * Make friendship a fine art. * Build a shelter against a rainy day. * Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day. They don't make them like that any more.
