My friend Pat reminds me that John Wooden, the great basketball coach at UCLA was born a few weeks ago. He was a great instructor of life and as an aside was a great coach. Here are some of his quips to live by:
"Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability."
"A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment."
"Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out."
"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
“The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.”
"Ability is a poor man's wealth."
"You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you."
"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"
“Make friendship a fine art.”
“Make each day your masterpiece.”
"Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability."

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
