What is success?
"Success isn’t having trophies or toys. It isn’t a medal or friends of your choice. What is Success? That’s easy to see. It’s trying to be the best you can be! Don’t worry what others may have or might say. When trying your best, Success comes your way.” -Inch and Miles, by Coach John Wooden.
UCLA coach, John Wooden, defined success as "peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable." In our class we use Wooden's Pyramid of Success model to encourage students to try 100% to be their personal best.
What are some of the blocks that make up the Pyramid of Success? Hard work, friendship, loyalty, cooperation, enthusiasm, self-control, alertness, action, determination, fitness, skill, team spirit, poise and confidence which lead to being our personal best, and this ultimately leads to SUCCESS.
