.......When we are out of sympathy Excerpt from the book John Wooden They Slow And Steady Gets You Ready When you improve a little each day, eventually big things occur. When you improve conditioning a little each day, eventually you have a big improvement in conditioning. Not tomorrow, not the next day, but eventually a big gain is made. Don't look for the big, quick improvement. Seek the small improvement one day at a time. That's the only way it happens - and when it happens, it lasts. |

Faults Are Fine I probably have all the same faults anyone has, and so do you. There’s nothing wrong with that. Having faults means you’re human you’re alive and breathing. There’s nothing wrong with having faults so long as you work conscientiously to correct them. How hard you work at correcting your faults reveals your character. |

The Realistic Optimist I believe one of my strengths is my ability to keep negative thoughts out. I’m an optimist. I believe this results from the fact that I set realistic goals - ones that are difficult to achieve, but within reach. You might say I’m a realistic optimist. Goals should be difficult to achieve because those achieved with little effort are seldom appreciated, give little personal satisfaction, and are often not very worth while. However, if you set goals that are so idealistic there’s no possibility of reaching them, you will eventually become discouraged and quit. They become counter productive. Be a realistic optimist. |
