The difference between winning and success. TED Talk Feb. 2001
Coach Wooden coined his own definition of success while teaching English in 1934.
Success = the peace of mind attained only from the self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you are capable.
Reputation = what you are perceived to be.
Character = what you really are.
John recited a little poetry.
Three rules
1. Never be late. Be neat and clean.
2. Not one word of profanity.
3. Never criticize a team mate.
We need faith and patience.
