review 1: It is an interesting perspective about a man who is famous for coaching basketball. He was a real people person. It caused me to think how men who become famous at coaching are usually men who can coach others in life, not just in their sport. It seems like the really good coaches are really good teachers about how to live life. I guess the elements of success on the court on the field are the same elements needed for success in life.
review 2: Don’t whine, don’t complain, don’t make excuses. Just do the best you can. Nobody can do more than that. Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self effort to become the best of which you are capable. (Joshua Woode... moren, John’s father page 23)We are all called to give back. Since there is nothing we can take with us from this life, we should try to leave behind as much as possible—it’s a basic and well-known truth. Those of us who have been blessed with worldly success have an even greater responsibility to make an impact with our time, talents, and resources; as we are reminded in the Gospels, “From him to whom much is given, much is required.” (page 66)One of the best things about my retirement is that it has allowed me to devote more time to the causes that mean the most to me. . . I seek out opportunities that will allow me a chance to share the blessings God has been good enough to grant me (Page 66)Be quick, but don’t hurry. . .Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. . .Never mistake activity for achievement. . .Happiness begins when selfishness ends. . . (Page 122 & 123)Fame, fortune, and power are not success, the four things mankind craves the most are freedom, happiness, peace, and love, none of which can be obtained without first giving it to someone else. (Page 158 Dale Brown)“Invisible mentors”—people whose lives and writings inspire us, and whose lessons we carry with us in the back of our heads. (page 164 Bob Vigars)Teaching is the ultimate profession, the ultimate gift to other people. (Page 173)Make each day your masterpiece. Work to make the most of today, then do the same tomorrow and, over time things will come together. And if you were to make each day a masterpiece, you would make a lifetime of amazing memories.
