Adversity often produces an unexpected opportunity. Look for it ! Appreciate and utilize it! This is difficult to do if you're feeling sorry for yourself because you're faced with adversity.

Goals should be difficult to achieve because those achieved with little effort are seldom appreciated, give little personal satisfaction, and are often not very worthwhile. There is a price to be paid for achieving anything of significance.

The life lessons taught by John Wooden have become legend. Here's a collection of some of the greatest 'Woodenisms.'

You must have respect, which is a part of love, for those under your supervision. Then they will do what you ask and more.

Being yourself; not acting. You therefore can function near your own level of competence. Satisfy you own expectations rather than those of others.

Stay the course. When thwarted try again; harder; smarter. Persevere relentlessly.

It matters not the subject taught, nor all the books on all the shelves, What matters most, yes most of all, is what the teachers are themselves.
