I have been listening to Tony Robbins‘s audio books for quite some time and have been hearing about this great man named John Wooden. I did not really make any research at that time when I heard about Coach John Wooden until I saw the tweet from Tony that coach John Wooden had just passed away recently.
I went to download and listen to the power talk interview that Tony did with Coach John Wooden many years ago which Tony shared on his blog for his viewer. Coach John Wooden was a legendary UCLA basketball coach as he was not only the most successful college basketball coach in history (winning 10 out of 12 NCCA National Championships, at one point winning 88 games in a row!).
I was amazed by the interview that Tony did with Coach John Wooden and decided to share some quotes with you that I felt is meaningful for anyone who is on the journey to success too.
Coach John Wooden Quotes:
– Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.
– Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It’s courage that counts.
– Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
– Failure is not fatal but failure to change might be.
– It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
– What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as a basketball player.
– You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
– Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
– 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.
– Never mistake activity for achievement.
– Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.
– Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.
– If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?
– If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.
– Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.
