Strength in Numbers
April 28th 2009

Set Worthy Goals
April 23rd 2009
“I believe we are most likely to succeed when ambition is focused on noble and worthy purposes and outcomes rather than on goals set out of selfishness. If our ambition is to be highly publicized, receive a lot of recognition, attain a position of power or prestige, or make a lot of money, we do not have noble goals. If we are focused away from ourselves and on the team and others, we possess noble goals.” – John Wooden

Prepare to Be Poised
April 13th 2009
“Poise and confidence come with proper preparation. When we are as prepared as we know how to be, and we know that we have the tools to handle most of the unknowns that might come our way, we can go into an event, a job, a meeting, a show or any other venue with total confidence.” – John Wooden

Always Be Authentic
April 12th 2009
“Most people think of poise as calm, self-assured dignity; but I call it ‘just being you.’ When we have poise, we’re not acting, faking or pretending. We’re not trying to be something we’re not, nor are we attempting to live up to others’ expectations. Therefore, when we are being who we really are, we’ll have greater likelihood of functioning nearer our own level of competency.” – John Wooden

Be Considerate of Others
April 7th 2009
“Team spirit is consideration, respect and dignity for others. I believe that if heads of state throughout this troubled world of ours truly had more consideration for others, our problems would not be as severe. I’m not saying we wouldn’t be without problems. Trouble will always exist. But if we display true consideration for others, most of our problems will be manageable.” – John Wooden
