Swim Faster Faster Quotes

Well, I think it is appropriate to put in some Wooden quotes at this time. The following was in an email sent by Chuck Wielgus and forwarded to me by Ted Haartz. Good stuff. SOME WORDS OF WISDOM FROM COACH JOHN WOODEN "Never mistake activity for achievement" "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think of you". "Be Prepared and Be Honest". "You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one." "You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you." "A Coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment." "If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?" "If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive a doer makes mistakes." "Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." "Things turn out the best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out." "Consider the rights of others before your own feelings and the feelings of others before your own rights" "Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." "Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability." "It's not so important who gets to start the game, but who finishes it." "It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen." "Talent is god-given. Be Humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be Careful." "The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team."
