Finally, we reach the top of the pyramid. This is no typical pyramid, but the Pyramid of Success that we have today from the late John Wooden. Success traits that can help us all be better leaders, sports players, employees, business owners, spouses, parents, friends…. And now, at the top, we find this last trait. Still one we can use in every area of our lives —
15. Competitive Greatness – “Perform at your best when your best is required. Your best is required each day.” At the top is one crucial statement – be your best and remember your best is required every day. There are many counting on you to be your best. Not the least of which is your family. You really have no time to be anything but your best – every day! How comforting to reflect at the end of the day and realize that you gave it your best. It may not have ended the way your wanted or dreamed, but you gave it your best.
“Success is 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.” – John Wooden
”Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you can do.”—John Wooden
