  1. Who was more successful? Character traits of successful individuals according to John Wooden’s “Pyramid of Success”

  2. The Pyramid of Success

  3. Industriousness and Enthusiasm • Corner stones of the pyramid • Practice • Work • We cheat ourselves if we “cut the corners.” • Enthusiasm makes an uninteresting topic interesting. • Industriousness creates a solution where there wouldn’t be one.

  4. Base blocks: Friendship, loyalty and cooperation • Friendship = mutual respect • Loyalty = loyal to others and ourselves • Cooperation = essential to achieve any goal, • Do our best, not other’s best

  5. Next layer: self-control, alertness, Initiative, intentness, strength • Self-control – Mental decision not to do something when dealing with others we may not agree with. • Alertness- observing and learning from your environment and those offering information • Initiative- Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t fail to act when action is required. We learn from failure. • Intentness- Focus, a goal that is attainable but difficult allows for room to grow while trying to reach it. Strength through adversity.

  6. Next Layer: Conditioning, Skills, Team Spirit • Conditioning = Being prepared for your situation, trained • Skills – Do it well, and do it quickly, or you may not get to do them at all. • Team Spirit – eagerness to loose one-self to the group for the good of the group. Consideration of others. • Disagreements based on prejudice, race or religion have caused wars in every culture in every century as long as humans have existed. It would be better to remember we are all on one team. • Alone is scary. We want to do something about prejudice, but we are only one. You are not alone. • Criticism is like envy or jealousy. It hurts the person being critical, not the person being criticized. • Two sides to every war.

  7. Next layer: Poise and confidence • Being prepared leads to confidence • Being yourself- not acting or pretending to be something you aren’t is poise.
