John Wooden on Tavis Smiley

Tavis Smiley interviews John Wooden -- fantastic interview. You can hear the wisdom in his voice. When he finished elementary school, Wooden's father game him a card to carry with him with 7 life principles to live by. They were:
  • Be true to yourself
  • Make each day your masterpiece
  • Help others
  • Drink deeply from good books, especially the good book
  • Make friendship a fine art (don't take it for granted, it's two-sided)
  • Build shelter for a rainy day
  • Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day
After hearing him speak you understand why he won 10 championships.
