Pyramid of Success by Coach Wooden

First and foremost, who is John Wooden ?? my apologies to my American friends and Basket Ball(Fans) that I was not aware of #CoachWooden earlier, I am not even a Basketball fan, however I am a big fan of football(soccer), I am big fan of coaching, coaching movies, and leadership and I have become a big fan of #TedLasso the Apple Series, and Ted Lasso's simple leadership style and quotes 😊... in one of Ted Lasso's recent tweet, Ted(his twitter handle) wished coach #JohnWooden on his birthday, with a very simple quote from Coach Wooden(See Below)

"A wise man once said "don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you can do." Happy birthday, Coach Wooden."

This caught my eye and I started reading about John Wooden, while reading, I found some gems from his repository, and sharing with you all... again none of these are my thoughts, I wish they were :-)...

I feel this is useful and relevant for all of us, in our everyday life pursuits, personal or professional... so here goes !!

1. Industriousness : Success travels in the company of hard-work, no trick no easy way.
2. Team Friendship : Build a team with camaraderie and respect, comrades in-arms.
3. Loyalty : Be true to yourself, and the team you lead.
4. Cooperation : Have utmost concern for "whats right", rather than "who's right"
5. Enthusiasm : Your energy, enjoyment and drive should inspire others.
6. Self Control : Be Disciplined
7. Alertness : Observe and be aware, always improve yourself and the team.
8. Initiative : Take initiative, failure to act is the biggest failure.
9. Intentness : Be relentless with your intent.
10. Team Spirit : Star of the team, is the TEAM... "we, Supersedes me"
11. Poise : Be yourself
12. Confidence : Self belief is earned, not given.
13. Greatness : Perform at your best, your best is required Each Day
