Wooden's Seven Point Creed

John Wooden's Seven Point Creed, given to him by his father Joshua upon his graduation from grammar school.

1-Be true to yourself.
2-Make each day your masterpiece.
3-Help others.
4-Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
5-Make friendship a fine art.
6-Build a shelter against a rainy day.
7-Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.

Application of these principals will lead to success in any aspect of leadership. As Wooden put it:
"Good leaders are positive.....and young people need positive models not critics"

Thanks Coach.
