My daughter Jessica gave me a book for Father’s Day entitled “Coach Wooden and Me”. It is written by Kareem Abdul- Jabbar and was full of insight into a 50 year friendship. Of course I highlighted and tabbed many quotes and thoughts in the book.
Coach Wooden won 10 NCAA Basketball National Championships while at UCLA and has been recognized as one of the best coaches of all time, in any sport. He was a very principled man, some would say old school. The following was on a card that he kept in his pocket at all times:
Seven Things to Do
1. Be true to yourself
2. Make each day your masterpiece
3. Help others
4. Drink deep from good books, especially the Bible
5. Make friendship an art
6. Build a shelter against a rainy day
7. Pray for guidance, and give thanks for your blessings each day
