John Wooden


Found this quote on Twitter:
"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."
John Wooden (1910- )
An American Basketball Couch

I liked Mr. Wooden's quote, so I looked him up on Wikipedia and found lots of interesting and inspiring information about him. In the article, I found his Seven Point Creed which had been given to him by his father when he graduated from grammer school.

Here is a copy of the Seven Point Creed:
  • Be true to yourself.
  • Make each day your masterpiece.
  • Help others.
  • Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
  • Make friendship a fine art.
  • Build a shelter against a rainy day.
  • Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day
He was outstanding in his field having many great success stories and honors given to him. I would encourage anyone to look him up, if you don't know him, and be inspired to be all that you can be!
