John Wooden (1910 – 2010)
As an Internet entrepreneur, subject to all sorts of wild swings, I particularly appreciate this quote from legendary basketball coach John Wooden: “All of life is peaks and valleys. Don’t let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.”
I’m thinking good thoughts for Coach Wooden’s family, friends, and millions of admirers around the world.
He was a very special man.
I concur, John Wooden was a remarkable man. In reviewing his Pyramid of Success, I was most impressed by how he defined success: from the inside out, very “others focused.” A concept that has certainly stood the test of time and be reinforced by some great leaders, yet still is so counter to the “ways of the world.”
