More quotes by John Wooden
Never confuse activity with accomplishment.
John Wooden
There is great joy in doing something for somebody else with no thought in receiving anything in return.
John Wooden
Motivating through fear may work in the short term to get people to do something, but over the long run I believe personal pride is a much greater motivator. It produces far better results that last for a much longer time.
John Wooden
I never yelled at my players much. That would have been artificial stimulation, which doesn't last very long. I think it's like love and passion. Passion won't last as long as love. When you are dependent on passion, you need more and more of it to make it work. It's the same with yelling.
John Wooden
Ability is a poor man's wealth.
John Wooden
Never mistake activity for achievement.
John Wooden
What it comes down to, I believe, is that mentoring often involves telling people what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. When you are able to be humbly honest with someone about a situation with which you have personal experience-even if you risk angering or hurting that person-you are offering the most valuable gift of all.
John Wooden
Success may result in winning, but winning does not necessarily mean you are a success.
John Wooden
Give me 100 percent. You can't make up for a poor effort today by giving 110 percent tomorrow. You don't have 110 percent. You only have 100 percent, and that's what I want from you right now.
John Wooden
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
John Wooden
You are no better than anyone else and no one is better than you.
John Wooden
Why do we dread adversity when we know that facing it is the only way to become stronger, smarter, better?
John Wooden
It's important to keep trying to do what you think is right no matter how hard it is or how often you fail. Never stop trying
John Wooden
A mistake is valuable if you do four things with it: recognize it, admit it, learn from it, forget it
John Wooden
Be quick without hurrying.
John Wooden
Adversity often produces an unexpected opportunity. Look for it ! Appreciate and utilize it! This is difficult to do if you're feeling sorry for yourself because you're faced with adversity.
John Wooden
Class is an intangible quality which commands, rather than demands, the respect of others.
John Wooden
The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.
John Wooden
You can’t do anything about yesterday, and the only way to improve tomorrow is by what you do right now.
John Wooden
I was built up from my dad more than anyone else.
John Wooden
