<p>As Jim Rohn said, “Miss a meal if you have to, but don’t miss a book.”&nbsp;</p>



<p>Coach John Wooden was <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/ways-to-read-more-books/">a voracious reader</a>, wholeheartedly believing in <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/from-the-archives-the-power-of-reading/">the power of reading</a>. Especially a fan of prose and poetry, he could recite whole passages of his favorite poems. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coach Wooden's favorite poems about success</h2>



<p>Wooden’s grandson-in-law, Craig Impelman, shared some of Wooden’s favorite poems with <em>SUCCESS</em>, so read on to discover 11 of them:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-four-things">1. “Four Things”</h3>



<p><em>By <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/16229/16229-h/16229-h.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Henry Van Dyke</a></em></p>



<p>Four things a man must learn to do<br>If he would make his record true:<br>To think without confusion clearly;<br>To love his fellow-men sincerely;<br>To act from honest motives purely;&nbsp;<br>To trust in God and Heaven securely.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-how-to-be-a-champion">2. “<a href="https://www.coachwooden.com/pyramid-of-success#Pyramid/1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How to Be a Champion</a>”</h3>



<p><em>By Grantland Rice</em></p>



<p>You wonder how they do it,<br>You look to see the knack.<br>You watch the foot in action,<br>Or the shoulder of the back.<br>But when you spot the answer,<br>Where the higher glamours lurk,<br>You’ll find in moving higher,<br>Up the laurel-covered spire,<br>That most of it is practice,<br>And the rest of it is work.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-i-keep-six-honest-serving-men">3. “I Keep Six Honest Serving Men”</h3>



<p><em>By <a href="https://www.greatexpectations.org/wp-content/uploads/pdf/lp/curiosity/Poems%20for%20Curiosity.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rudyard Kipling</a></em></p>



<p>I keep six honest serving-men,<br>(They taught me all I knew);<br>Their names are What and Why and When<br>And How and Where and Who.<br>I send them over land and sea,<br>I send them east and west;<br>But after they have worked for me,<br><em>I</em> give them all a rest.</p>



<p><em>I </em>let them rest from nine till five,<br>For I am busy then,<br>As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,<br>For they are hungry men.<br>But different folk have different views;<br>I know a person small—<br>She keeps ten million serving-men,<br>Who get no rest at all!<br>She sends ’em abroad on her own affairs,<br>From the second she opens her eyes—<br>One million Hows, two million Wheres,<br>And seven million Whys!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-a-little-fellow-follows-me">4. “A Little Fellow Follows Me”</h3>



<p><em>By Rev. Claude Wisdom White, Sr.</em></p>



<p>A careful man I want to be,<br>A little fellow follows me;<br>I do not dare to go astray,<br>For fear he’ll go the self-same way.</p>



<p>I cannot once escape his eyes,<br>Whate’er he sees me do, he tries;&nbsp;<br>Like me he says he’s going to be,<br>The little chap who follows me.</p>



<p>He thinks that I am good and fine,&nbsp;<br>Believes in every word of mine;<br>The base in me he must not see,<br>The little chap who follows me.</p>



<p>I must remember as I go,<br>Through summer’s sun and winter’s snow;<br>I am building for the years to be<br>That little chap who follows me.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-at-day-s-end">5. “At Day’s End”</h3>



<p><em>By John Hall</em></p>



<p>Is anybody happier because you passed his way?<br>Does anybody remember that you spoke to him today?<br>The day is almost over, and its toiling time is through;<br>Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?<br>Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that’s slipping fast,<br>That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed?<br>Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said?<br>Does the man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?<br>Did you waste the day, or lose it? Was it well or sorely spent?<br>Did you <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/giving-kindness-what-a-wonderful-world/">leave a trail of kindness</a>, or a scar of discontent?<br>As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think God will say,<br>“You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today?”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-6-shut-the-door-on-yesterday">6. “<a href="https://amzn.to/3tK4xP0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shut the Door on Yesterday</a>”</h3>



<p><em>By Agnes Martin</em></p>



<p>I’ve <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/11-tips-for-letting-go-of-past-failures-and-embracing-the-future/">shut the door on yesterday</a>,<br>It sorrows and mistakes;<br>I’ve locked within its gloomy walls<br>Past failures and heartaches</p>



<p>And now I throw the key away<br>To seek another room<br>And furnish it with hope and smiles,<br>And every springtime bloom.</p>



<p>No thought shall enter this abode<br>That has a hint of pain,<br>And every malice and distrust<br>Shall never therein reign.</p>



<p>I’ve shut the door on yesterday<br>And thrown the key away—<br>Tomorrow holds no doubt for me,<br>Since I have found today.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-7-title-unknown">7. Title Unknown</h3>



<p><em>By Anonymous</em></p>



<p>There is a choice you have to make,<br>in everything you do.<br>So keep in mind that in the end,<br>the choice you make, makes you.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-8-after-you-know-it-all">8. “After You Know It All”</h3>



<p><em>By Swen Nater</em></p>



<p>Beyond the festive caps and gowns,<br>Beyond the PhDs,<br>Beyond the books that filled the minds<br>Of those who earned degrees,</p>



<p>A greater knowledge will commence,<br>For those who heed the call—<br>What counts the most <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/want-to-reach-your-potential-then-be-a-learner/">is what you learn</a><br>After you know it all.</p>



<p>All graduated pedagogues,<br>When teaching, find in turn,<br>Those books on what to teach had failed<br>To show how children learn.</p>



<p>And they will soon discover that<br>Each child who owns a name,<br>Is different and unique, and so,<br>They all don’t learn the same.</p>



<p>The classroomed coach who learned, the boys<br>Are Xs and are Os,<br>Becomes adept at leadership<br>The moment that he knows,</p>



<p>Those boys need teacher-shepherds who<br>Will guide their little lambs<br>To execute the truths of life<br>Beyond the diagrams.</p>



<p>Oh decorated graduate,<br>Once past that college wall,<br>What counts the most is what you learn,<br>After you know it all.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-9-press-on">9. “Press On”</h3>



<p><em>By Calvin Coolidge</em></p>



<p>Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.<br>Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.<br>Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.<br>Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.<br><a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/9-ways-to-improve-your-perseverance-skills/">Persistence and determination</a> alone are omnipotent.<br>The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-10-if">10. “If—”</h3>



<p><em>By Rudyard Kipling</em></p>



<p>If you can keep your head when all about you<br>Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;&nbsp;<br>If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,<br>But make allowance for their doubting too;<br>If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,&nbsp;<br>Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,<br>Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,&nbsp;<br>And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;</p>



<p>If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;<br>If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;<br>If you can meet with triumph and disaster<br>And treat these two imposters just the same;<br>If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken<br>Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,<br>Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,<br>And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:</p>



<p>If you can make one heap of all your winnings<br>And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,<br>And lose, and start again at your beginnings<br>And never breathe a word about your loss;<br>If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew<br>To serve your turn long after they are gone,<br>And so hold on when there is nothing in you<br>Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”;</p>



<p>If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,<br>Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch,<br>If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,<br>If all men count with you, but none too much;<br>If you can fill the unforgiving minute<br>With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—<br>Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,<br>And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-11-carpe-diem">11. “<a href="https://allpoetry.com/poem/10081771-Carpe-Diem-by-Shannon-Hughes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carpe Diem</a>”</h3>



<p><em>By Shannon Hughes</em></p>



<p>As daylight fades and twilight approaches,<br>Swift and steady night soon encroaches.<br>So seize this very moment and contemplate the next.<br>What will you do with the moments you have left?<br>For no gravestone can ever eulogize,<br>The death of great dreams unrealized.</p>

<p>Scroll through any news app and you’ll find slander, dishonesty and filth coming from the mouths of our current and future leaders. Take a look at the role models your children look up to and you’ll quickly notice patterns of loose standards, unrealistic expectations and unworthy pursuits. When your co-worker does something that violates your personal code of right versus wrong, you feel compelled to remain silent because of the pressure of office politics. </p>



<p>All this leaves you asking: <em>Is success even possible in today’s world </em><a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/9-tips-to-help-you-strengthen-your-integrity/"><em>without sacrificing integrity</em></a><em> or morals?</em></p>



<p>Yes. But you have to decide to take the path less traveled, and that can be tough.

<p>Sports legends such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bobby Bowden, Joe Torre, Bill Walton, Dick Vitale and others called Wooden their teacher, mentor and friend. But even they knew his legacy as a teacher wasn't limited to basketball or athletics.</p>



<p>Wooden taught what he called the Pyramid of Success, a road map for individual and team excellence you can use to set goals, take action, overcome obstacles and achieve more in life. <a href="https://www.thewoodeneffect.com/pyramid-of-success/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Pyramid of Success</a> was the core of the framework and success philosophy Wooden taught for more than 50 years.</p>

25 Successful People’s Thoughts on the Power of Passion

Traditional advice says, “Find a job. Any job.” But the world’s most successful people say, “Passion drives progress, which becomes success.” That’s the message that billionaire-mindset expert Peter Diamandis says is the difference maker for many of the wealthiest people in the world. Tech entrepreneurs like Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos know the best laid plans lie not in the details, but in the spark that initiated them.
<blockquote>
<p class="rteindent1"><em>Related: </em><strong><a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/why-some-people-have-the-golden-touch-and-how-you-can-have-it-too">Why Some People Have ‘The Golden Touch’ and How You Can Have It, Too</a></strong></p>
</blockquote>
Here are tips, tricks and strategies from 25 highly successful people on using passion to build your dream career:

1.<strong> <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/napoleon-hills-17-principles-of-personal-achievement">Napoleon Hill</a></strong> did extensive research of the world’s richest men in his time. Their stories varied, but their commitment to their vision was a constant, and that set them apart from the mere mortals. Hill says do what you love, or else you will lack the energy to become truly successful. “No man can succeed in a line of endeavour which he does not like,” he writes.

2. “If you don’t love what you do, you won’t do it with much conviction or passion.” —<em><strong>Mia Hamm</strong></em>

3. “It is the soul’s duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion.” —<em><strong>Rebecca West</strong></em>

4. But <strong>Albert Einstein</strong> said it best: "I have no special talents. I am only <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/videos/youtube/why-curiosity-is-the-basis-of-great-ideas">passionately curious</a>.” Imagine a great mind like that crediting passion as the catalyst to his success.
<h2><strong>The thing with passion is that you can’t fake it.</strong></h2>
5. “You can't fake passion.” —<em><strong>Barbara Corcoran</strong></em>

6. “It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.” —<em><strong>T. S. Eliot</strong></em>
<h2><strong>Have a vision.</strong></h2>
7. “<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/what-is-your-dream">Every great dream begins with a dreamer.</a> Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” —<em><strong>Harriet Tubman</strong></em>

8. “Yes, in all my research, the greatest leaders looked inward and were able to tell a good story with authenticity and passion.” —<em><strong>Deepak Chopra</strong></em>
<h2><strong>It’s not about the money</strong>.</h2>
9.<strong> Richard St. John</strong>, who researched the lessons of success and wrote the best-seller <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Traits-Successful-People-Have-Common/dp/0973900970/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1484945020&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=The+8+Traits+Successful+People+Have+in+Common&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=sm0fe-20&amp;linkId=f885465efeefd531a91b83263603db2c" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The </em><em>8 Traits Successful People Have in Common</em></a>, put it this way: “Do what successful people do and follow your heart, not your wallet. In the end, your wallet will be happy you did.”

10. “What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.” —<em><strong>Bob Dylan</strong></em>
<h2><a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/3-ways-to-discover-your-true-passion"><strong>How do you know you’ve found your passion?</strong></a></h2>
Ask yourself this: <em>Would you do it for free?</em> If the answer is yes, you've probably found it.

11.<strong> Vincent Van Gogh</strong> was rather extreme when he said, “I would rather die of passion than of boredom.”  And he gifted the world with his art, which, to date, is the most replicated art in the world.
<h2><strong>And when you do, act on it.</strong></h2>
<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/rohn-whatever-the-project-is-start-today">Do not wait</a> for better times, because there is never going to be the perfect time.

12. “We must act out passion before we can feel it.” —<em><strong>Jean-Paul Sartre</strong></em>

13. And you can’t argue with that logic. Even <strong>Jon Bon Jovi</strong> supports it: “Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.”

14. “If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.” —<em><strong>Wanda Skyes</strong></em>

15. “The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.” —<em><strong>Neil Gaiman</strong></em>

16.<strong> Richard Branson</strong> is a success story of his time because of the radical ideas that he put into motion in his business. And just like <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/what-does-it-take-to-become-a-billionaire">every millionaire and billionaire</a> out there, passion is a factor that propelled him to where he is now. “Passion is one of the most effective motivators when it comes to launching a business—and often one of the strongest predictors of whether an idea will lead to success.”
<h2><strong>Stay on course.</strong></h2>
17.<strong> Steve Jobs</strong> shared this in a commencement address to a graduating class in Stanford University: “The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

18.<strong> Oprah Winfrey</strong> corroborates this: “<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/how-passion-feeds-you">Passion is energy.</a> Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.”
<h2><strong>Don’t give up</strong>.</h2>
19.<strong> Michael Bloomberg</strong> captured this well: “If you don’t encounter setbacks in your career, if you don’t have doubts and disappointments, let me tell you, you’re not dreaming big enough.”

20. “Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there’s love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.” —<em><strong>Ella Fitzgerald</strong></em>

21. “If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.” —<em><strong>Benjamin Franklin</strong></em>

22.<strong> Steve Wozniak</strong> had this to say: “If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it’s within your reach. And it’ll be worth every minute you spend alone at night, thinking and thinking about what it is you want to design or build. It’ll be worth it, I promise.”
<h2><strong>Don’t settle. Don’t compromise.</strong></h2>
23. “<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/why-failure-is-a-better-option-than-never-trying">There is no passion to be found playing small</a>—in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” —<em><strong>Nelson Mandela</strong></em>
<h2><strong>Don’t stop learning or honing your craft either.</strong></h2>
24. “Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.” —<em><strong>Anthony J. D’Angelo</strong></em>
<h2><strong>Share your passion. Keeping it hidden inside diminishes its power.</strong></h2>
25.<strong> J.K. Rowling</strong>, who was at <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/4-steps-to-get-your-life-together-and-back-on-track">the lowest point of her life</a> when she wrote the <em>Harry Potter</em> series, was the shining example of this when she said, “Well, I can’t get passionate and whisper!”

It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, if the stock market is down, if you don’t have access to education or the business environment is not favourable… it’s never going to feel like the “right time.” But if you are doing what you love the most, then you’re most certainly going the right direction.

25 Successful People’s Thoughts on the Power of Passion | SUCCESS

https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/legacy/sites/default/files/main/blogposts/successfulpeoplesthoughtsonthepowerofpassion.jpg

Around 70 percent of the 400 richest people in America are “<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/10-attributes-of-self-made-billionaires">self-made</a>.”

Maybe they borrowed money from family or started a business with a group of investors based on an idea, but they weren’t born with billions in the bank. They turned their ideas into profit and built fortunes for themselves.

Among today’s <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/50-richest-people-on-earth-2016-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">richest people in the world</a> (Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Jeff Bezos and others) are tech entrepreneurs who seem to have caught on to something the rest of us missed and created fortunes from thin air.

We asked billionaire-mindset expert Peter Diamandis, “What do these billionaires know that we don’t?”
<p class="rteindent1"><em>Related:</em> <strong><a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/28-uncommon-rules-to-live-by-from-a-space-tech-billionaire">28 Uncommon Rules to Live By, From a Space Tech Billionaire</a></strong></p>
Diamandis is an internationally renowned thought leader, innovator and pioneer of commercial space flight, who founded the XPRIZE Foundation to incentivize private space flight. His answer: Today’s innovators use exponential thinking to make “scarce resources” abundant and accelerate results.
<h2><strong>What is exponential thinking?</strong></h2>
It’s a concept Diamandis’ students at Singularity University use to address massive billion-person problems—those with no known solution. It relies upon the possibilities available in our highly connected world.

At some point in your life, you might have heard the “penny doubling” story: If you start with a penny and double it every day, in 28 days you’ll be a millionaire. On day one you have $.01. Day two, $.02. Day 3, $.04, and so on.

How about the concept of a folded piece of paper that can reach the moon? An average sheet of paper folded 10 times will reach about 3 feet tall. A paper folded 20 times would reach airplane cruising altitude; a paper folded 42 times will reach to the moon. Fold the paper 53 times? You’ve reached the end of our known universe.

This is the concept of exponential thinking in action. It’s this type of thinking that is creating today’s billionaires. Of course there are limits to how much you can fold paper, but there are no limits to <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/top-of-mind-5-ways-to-get-ideas-flowing">the progress of ideas</a> (and many of the other resources you think are scarce). Here’s why: Technology is what makes exponential thinking reality.

Diamandis says technology has turned our world of scarcity into a world of abundance. In fact, he argues that you are living in the most abundant, opportunity-rich time in human history.
<p class="rteindent1"><em>Related:</em> <strong><a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/5-ways-the-rules-of-success-have-changed">5 Ways the Rules of Success Have Changed</a> </strong></p>
Consider what it takes to change the world today compared to just 100 years ago. If you wanted to start a company in 1917, what did you need? Startup capital, a brick and mortar space with a lease, employees, access to knowledge, know-how and expertise that’s difficult for everyday people to acquire. Just 100 years ago you had to have money to make money.

To change the world 100 years ago required a massive investment in time, resources, energy. It was an investment most people didn’t have to offer.

But technology has transformed everything. If you want to launch a business today, technology allows you to access any piece of information you need to know instantly, find like-minded supporters, identify problems your business can solve, generate the funds necessary to launch and more.

All of these factors combined can create exponential growth, provided that you find a problem large enough to truly impact the world.

With the power of technology, you can double the number of people supporting a business or a project every day for 28 days and have more than 1 million supporters. You can double profit every day for 28 days, starting with just $.01 and make $1 million.
<h3 class="rtecenter">For the first time in history, exponential growth—just like the story of doubling a penny every day or folding paper 42 times to reach the moon—is possible.</h3>
For the first time in history, exponential growth—just like the story of doubling a penny every day or folding paper 42 times to reach the moon—is possible.

This is how Facebook made Mark Zuckerberg millions that turned into billions. Exponential thinking is how Amazon made Jeff Bezos millions that turned into billions. It all begins with <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/5-things-you-need-for-a-successful-mindset">the mindset</a> today’s modern billionaires use to solve problems through exponential thinking.

Do you want to apply this modern billionaire mindset?

Even the artist who designed the John R. Wooden Award trophy for college basketball's player of the year—the same man who handcrafts the 24-karat gold-plated Grammy Award trophy every year—has a heartfelt connection with Coach Wooden to share.

John Billings met Coach at his first job out of high school, working the loading dock at the UCLA Student Union. Nearly every day, Coach Wooden passed through the student union on his way to lunch and stopped and said hello to Billings. The young man opened up to Coach and shared his dream to design and create sculptures. Wooden helped Billings find side jobs to make ends meet for his young family. “I always listened to his advice and was in awe of his wisdom,” Billings says.

Now Billings handcrafts the Grammy Award and the Wooden Award from his small shop in Colorado. He was recently featured in <em>Billboard</em> magazine for his craftsmanship of the prestigious awards.

Celebrating his 40th year of crafting the Wooden Award, Billings says, “I put every bit of myself into each award I make in his honor. It’s as if he were guiding my hand and saying, ‘It’s not perfect, but it’s your best and I’m proud.’”

There are plenty of awards named after people in the sports world, from the Bobby Bowden National Collegiate Coach of the Year award to the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. But no sports figure has more awards named for the qualities he so eloquently exhibited than Coach John Wooden. <a href="https://www.thewoodeneffect.com/wave-of-influence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The late UCLA men’s basketball coach inspired thousands of people while he was alive</a>, from coaches and athletes to businesspeople and entertainers. His spirit of generosity, kindness and integrity continues to live on in the form of numerous awards that are given out each year to outstanding coaches, athletes and leaders.

Here’s a look at some of the most prestigious awards that were inspired by the greatest coach of all time.
<h2><a href="https://www.woodenaward.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>John R. Wooden Player of the Year Award</strong></a></h2>
The John R. Wooden Player of the Year Award is actually a Los Angeles Athletic Club-sponsored program consisting of several annual awards—the Men’s Player of the Year and the Women’s Player of the Year, as well as Legends of Coaching, the All-America teams and the High School Player of the Year. In recent years, the award has grown to become a live televised ceremony presented by Wendy’s on ESPNU and has long been recognized as the most prestigious individual honor in college basketball.

The John R. Wooden Award trophy features five bronze figures, each depicting one of the five major skills that Wooden believed a “total” basketball player must exhibit: rebounding, passing, shooting, dribbling and defense. Coach John Wooden’s ideas of the “total basketball player” inspired the trophy’s design by Billings, the Colorado artist who once worked at UCLA.

The awards were named in honor of John Wooden being named college basketball player of the year at Purdue University in 1932. A 26-member panel chooses around 15 candidates for the award each year. The first award was given in 1977 to UCLA forward Marques Johnson and the award extended to women’s basketball in 2004. The 2017 Wooden award winners will be named April 7, 2017 presented by the Los Angeles Athletic Club.
<h3><strong>Notable winners: </strong></h3>
Blake Griffin (2009)
Candace Parker (2007 and 2008)
Kevin Durant (2007)
Tim Duncan (1997)
David Robinson (1987)
Michael Jordan (1984)
Larry Bird (1979)

 
<h2><a href="https://www.woodenaward.com/legends_of_coaching" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Award</strong></a></h2>
The same committee that issues the annual Player of the Year awards is also responsible for the John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Award, given each year to college basketball coaches who exhibit coaching expertise and finesse that matches what Coach Wooden demonstrated.

Coaches are judged by their character, success on the court, graduation rate of student athletes on their team and overall coaching philosophy.

<a href="https://www.thewoodeneffect.com/17-famous-woodenisms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">That Wooden-esque philosophy</a> is what makes this award so meaningful. “It’s a real honor. It’s one of the most prestigious awards you can be selected for or receive,” Tubby Smith told the<em> Lubbock Avalanche Journal</em> after receiving the 2016 award.
<h3><strong>Notable winners: </strong></h3>
Muffet McGraw, Notre Dame University (2017)

Legendary coach John Wooden took the helm of a struggling UCLA Bruins basketball program in 1948. By the end of the season, they were conference champions. By the time of his retirement in 1975, the man they called "Coach" led his teams to a record-breaking 10 national championships in just 12 years, establishing a legacy as one of the best coaches of all time.

John Wooden was a philosopher without even realizing it. His perfectly succinct and simple sayings inspired many thousands of young college basketball players at UCLA and many more individuals far and wide—many of whom never stepped foot on a basketball court to hear the words straight from his mouth. That’s how powerful his words were.
<p class="rteindent1"><em>Related:</em> <strong><a href="https://www.successacademy.com/p/register-wooden-live-cast?utm_campaign=wooden2017&amp;utm_medium=successblog&amp;utm_source=17woodenisms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Path to Greatness</a></strong></p>
Everyone has their favorite “Woodenism,” as many fans of the humble philosopher call his motivational quotes. But former UCLA player and sportscaster Bill Walton, who credits Wooden as his greatest mentor,&nbsp;says he doesn’t have a favorite. He honestly loves them all. Here are 17 of John Wooden’s most famous “Woodenisms.”
<h3>1."It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it."</h3>

Stay ahead in business: strategies and insights for success

“Some people go through their lives like they are walking slowly into a swimming pool — the water hardly ripples as they ease comfortably into their own little corner. John Wooden wasn’t one of those people,” Coach Mike Krzyzewski wrote in the forward of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Game-Plan-Life-Power-Mentoring/dp/1608192687/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1474386014&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Game+Plan+for+Life:+The+Power+of+Mentoring&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=sm0fe-20&amp;linkId=be32a24fcc46763fa4a724e39697586e" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>A Game Plan for Life: The Power of Mentoring</em></a> by Don Yaeger about the late basketball coach. “His life was like a cannonball dive that sent waves across the water, affecting everyone in the pool.”

Sportscaster Bill Walton was touched by one of those waves. In the time that he played for Coach Wooden at UCLA from 1971-1974, Walton found an unforgettable teacher and mentor in the man regarded as the best coach of all time. “Coach Wooden epitomized everything I want to be,” says the 2-time NCAA champion and 3-time All-American player.
<p class="rteindent1"><em>Related</em>: <a href="https://go.successacademy.com/aff_c?offer_id=22&amp;aff_id=2&amp;source=successblog-wooden-taught-gameoflife&amp;url_id=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Framework of Success</strong></a></p>
From Wooden, Walton learned how to be an industrious student, so that you earn the privilege to be a UCLA basketball player, how to act with poise when you’re at your lowest and why friendship, loyalty and cooperation are the building blocks of success. Wooden even taught his players the resourceful way to put on their socks and shoes.

“While our practices were the most demanding endeavors that I’ve ever been a part of, so physically, emotionally, mentally and psychologically taxing, there is always the sense of joy, of celebration and of people having fun playing a simple game,” Walton wrote on his site BillWalton.com.

But you didn’t have to play for Wooden to feel the ripple effect of his Pyramid of Success. The tenets he taught have touched many, far beyond that one rippling wave of influence.

Take J. N. “Jim” Whiddon of Dallas, featured in the October 2016 issue of <em>SUCCESS</em>, who wanted to be a basketball coach growing up like his idol Wooden.

When he discovered a coach’s salary wouldn’t sufficiently pay the bills, Whiddon shifted gears and earned a master’s degree at The American College of Financial Services instead. He founded the firm JWA Financial Group (which he sold in 2013) and hosted a radio show during his lucrative 30-year career in finance. But the influence of the legendary UCLA coach still called to him.

In his book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Old-School-Advantage-Timeless-Generation/dp/1612549101/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1474386067&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=The+Old+School+Advantage&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=sm0fe-20&amp;linkId=3b8ce8a93b1145f5bea409de19556a68" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>The Old School Advantage</em></a>, published in February, Whiddon shares the importance of “old school” communication with younger generations. “We’re manufacturing technicians in colleges across the country,” Whiddon says. “But can those technicians, who are brilliant and have such know-how, communicate those ideas? Do they have the social skills?”

Influenced by Wooden’s highly principled style of leadership, Whiddon’s book explores how enthusiasm and sincerity in storytelling can make you a great leader. It also presents advice for negotiating during a job interview and touts the impact of a handwritten thank-you note.

That’s what Wooden did. He taught people how to be better. “Coach Wooden was a great teacher, teaching the right way to play the greatest game all people play — the game of life,” says sportscaster Dick Vitale, who is one of dozens of people that shared their stories about Coach Wooden for an upcoming SUCCESS project.

“When you talk to John Wooden, you wouldn’t even know you were talking to a basketball coach,” says SUCCESS Ambassador and best-selling author John C. Maxwell. “It was the principles of life that people wanted to hear from him.”
<p class="rteindent1"><em>Related: </em><a href="https://go.successacademy.com/aff_c?offer_id=22&amp;aff_id=2&amp;source=successblog-woodens-life-lessons&amp;url_id=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Framework of Success</strong></a></p>
In this short clip, Maxwell discusses Wooden’s leadership lessons that were passed down to his former players, such as sportscaster Bill Walton and actor Beau Bridges.

University of Memphis basketball coach Tubby Smith also discusses Wooden’s life lessons, including a poem by Henry Van Dyke passed down from Wooden’s father, Joshua Wooden.

“Wooden always carried this creed on a card that his father gave him,” Smith says. “It read, ‘The four things a man must learn to do if he would make his record true.’”
<ol>
 	<li>To think without confusion clearly</li>
 	<li>To love his fellow-men sincerely</li>
 	<li>To act from honest motives purely</li>
 	<li>To trust in God and heaven securely</li>
</ol>
In his nearly 40 years as a coach and teacher, Wooden believed his greatest responsibility was to turn his players into mature and honorable young men, who were well prepared for life beyond basketball. He felt the students’ success should not only be measured by grades and wins alone, but also by heart and character. Wooden accomplished this with his teachings based in personal development.

<h2><strong>Rule #2: Startup costs are no longer an issue.</strong></h2>
While compiling research for entrepreneurs and students at <a href="https://singularityu.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Singularity University</a> to embrace as part of an Exponential Thinking exercise, I sat down and spoke with Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble, an Apple iWatch competitor.

Eric went from next to nothing—just an idea in a project “incubator” think-tank program to a direct competitor to Apple, overnight with a single Kickstarter Campaign.

He had planned to do it step-by-step, sending press releases, going to events, looking for angel investors—all the strategies you had to use 20 or even 10 years ago to get funding for an idea.

But within <em>two hours</em> of his Kickstarter launch, his idea caught on and his followers, fueled by passion and viral internet hype, raised his entire $100,000 goal. Within <em>six days</em>, his project was the most funded project in Kickstarter history. He raised $4.7 million with 30 days left.

Money used to be the issue that kept businesses off the ground—even the smallest of startups. You had to <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/afraid-of-risks-how-to-be-bolder">take a massive risk</a> to get started, investing your money or convincing investors while moving forward to create a product or offer you had to <em>hope </em>people would buy.

<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/how-to-become-a-crowdfunding-success-story">Crowdfunding</a> has eliminated this barrier. If you have a great idea, you no longer need money to get it off the ground.
<h2><strong>Rule #3: You can crowdsource your workforce.</strong></h2>
You don’t need physical employees or a team in place to launch your idea anymore. And I’m not talking about your ability to <em>outsource work </em>to a single <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/5-signs-youre-cut-out-to-be-a-freelancer">freelancer</a>—I’m talking about true <em>incentive-based </em>crowdsourcing.

I sat down recently with Jack Hughes, the founder of <a href="https://www.topcoder.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TopCoder</a>, a platform that allows you to hire design and technology experts using a competition model: You submit a project, people from all over the world compete to give you the best possible work and you pay only the winner.

Using incentive competitions like this, lean companies with a small workforce have a distinct advantage over corporate powerhouses. Crowdsourcing your workforce is much less expensive than a room full of employees working on a project—and it often results in better work.
<h2><strong>Rule #4: All it takes is an idea you’re willing to act on.</strong></h2>
“Yes, but I don’t have an idea” is something I hear quite a bit from <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/john-c-maxwell-do-you-have-what-it-takes-to-be-an-entrepreneur">entrepreneurs</a> who have bold business dreams but nothing to build them on. My response is always this: Look to your passion for ideas.

What can you see yourself doing every day? What gets you excited? How do you spend time when you’re not working?

Back in 1996, I wanted to go to space—that was my passion. But I was never going to be an astronaut. At the time, I didn’t have the money, but I announced a $10-million prize to the first privately financed team who could put a passenger vehicle 100 kilometers into space <em>twice </em>within two weeks.

It was the first “XPRIZE” and the beginning of my XPRIZE Foundation.

Twenty-six teams from around the world invested well over $100 million in attempts to win the “Ansari XPRIZE” for sending a private passenger spacecraft into space. All it took to get started was that <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/15-success-books-to-inspire-your-next-big-idea">big idea</a>.

Supporters joined, we raised the prize money and crowdsourced the solution. SpaceshipOne was the result.
<h2><strong>Rule #5: Look for the billion-person problems.</strong></h2>
Here’s the big lesson I like to leave entrepreneurs with, or really anyone looking to build a successful venture: The first step is finding a billion-person problem. One problem that affects at least one billion people. <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/5-qualities-you-need-to-reach-your-biggest-goals">A big goal</a> you want to solve. I call it a “moonshot” goal.

For example, take a look at the work Elon Musk is doing with Tesla or any one of his companies right now. Their business models revolve around billion-person problems.

When you discover one of these problems and get passionate about it, you also <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/5-ways-to-be-more-influential">inspire</a> the passion of billions of other people who are ready to help you succeed. After those people get on board, you don’t need to worry about resources, ideas or even capital. The crowd helps you take care of it all.

These are the new rules of success—and they are changing every day. Can you keep up?

In 1975, Steve Sasson invented the first digital camera. He was an engineer working at Kodak. At the time, Kodak held 85 percent of the U.S. camera sales market while commanding 90 percent of film sales. There was no other company as well-poised to take digital photography by storm. When Sasson introduced his <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/7-essential-questions-inventors-should-ask-themselves">invention</a> to his managers, their very first reaction was, “Don’t tell anyone about it.” Organizational inertia shut down Kodak’s digital potential. With a structure focused on film sales, management failed to see digital as disruptive technology. Even in 1981, after Sony had introduced the first electronic camera and Kodak’s CEO had commissioned a market study to survey the impact, Kodak’s very own researchers concluded that digital would take nearly 20 years for consumers to adopt.

The rest of the story is a well-known model of business decline and failure. Today, post-bankruptcy, Kodak relies on a trove of patents it developed over 100-plus years as an <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/john-c-maxwell-how-to-create-a-culture-of-innovation">industry innovator</a>, and Kodak’s story is a staple of business classrooms everywhere<em>.</em>

This isn’t an uncommon failure.

IBM initially dismissed the personal computer as a toy; once an electronics icon, Radio Shack is out of business; and in the 1990s, poised to take control of internet shopping, the most successful mail-in retailer of all time, Sears, decided to double-down on brick-and-mortar stores.

To explain their failure, you should take this lesson in why <em>groundbreaking ideas</em> almost always come out of nowhere:
<h3><strong>Astonishing success requires moonshots.</strong></h3>
When it comes to <em>business as usual</em>, go ahead and let your organizational inertia set your agenda. But if you want to stand out, create an astonishing level of success and truly revolutionize your industry, you need to take a page from the world’s greatest superachievers and business leaders…

<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/rohn-4-tips-for-setting-powerful-goals">Set <em>big goals</em></a>. Go for the moon. Big goals <em>always</em> lead to better outcomes and the reason why is simple:
<p class="rteindent1"><em>Related:</em> <strong><a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/afraid-of-risks-how-to-be-bolder">Afraid of Risks? How to Be Bolder</a></strong></p>

<h3><strong>Moonshot goals often result in failure, but that’s OK.</strong></h3>
<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/when-you-aim-high-you-set-yourself-up-to-fall-far-heres-why-its-worth-it">When you create a high, hard and nearly-impossible-to-achieve goal</a>, you are setting yourself up for failure. Yes, that’s right. I said, “You are setting yourself up for failure.”

But right now, I want you to take a step back and get over always being right. Because focusing your attention on a single, high, hard-hitting outcome will accomplish two important things.

First, you will be able to focus your attention on something greater. Now more than ever, we’re discovering the power of intrinsic rewards. Instead of incentivizing success and punishing failure, you’ll pair performance with <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/answer-6-questions-to-reveal-your-life-purpose">purpose</a>—the pursuit of something greater.

Second, big goals increase persistence. You will be more willing to try if you’ve already failed twice, three times or even 100 times before. With this in mind, ask yourself this:
<h3><strong><em>Is <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/7-motivational-quotes-to-help-you-face-your-fears-because-worry-never-fixes-anything">fear of failure</a> a reason why the best ideas are developed in isolation?</em></strong></h3>
Sometime in 1980, Steve Jobs leased a building behind the restaurant he ate lunch in every day. He put a team of 20 designers together. He locked them (far enough) away from Apple headquarters. He gave them free rein to fail in pursuit of an audacious goal.

They invented the Macintosh computer.

Alphabet Inc.’s “X” organization (formerly Google X) actually call their goals “moonshots,” working independently and secretively on self-driving cars, Project Wing, Project Loon and others.

The stories behind nearly half of today’s <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/4-secrets-of-insanely-successful-people">shockingly successful</a> “out of nowhere” startups begin with a college student who has nothing to lose by going for broke in his dorm room.

Innovation born isolated from your corporate culture, protected from failure and guided by moonshot goals are the reason why you should:
<h3><strong>Fail like they do in Silicon Valley—be bold and go big.</strong></h3>
Don’t fear failure in pursuit of your moonshot goals. If you do, you risk letting organizational inertia, outdated thinking or apprehension overturn your ability to take your business, your career and personal goals to the next level. Today the world’s biggest tech companies create cultures of failure encouragement, building teams free from the inertia of organizations, with massive goals capable of changing the world. There’s a lot to learn from this model, including one of the all-time favorites, “When you fail, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/rohn-how-to-bounce-back-from-failure">make sure you fail forward</a>.”

If you’re not taking risks because you’re afraid of failure, now is the time to start.

Set big goals. Go for the moon. | SUCCESS

If you’ve ever seen the film <em>Apollo 13</em> starring Tom Hanks, you’ll remember the scene in which the spacecraft sustained damage and the astronauts’ oxygen began leaking into space. The team of NASA engineers predicted the astronauts had less than 2 days of oxygen left.

The NASA engineers back on earth were forced to create an emergency CO2 recycling device from the limited supplies they knew the astronauts had in space.

At a crucial moment in the discussion, the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, played by Ed Harris in the movie, confronts the problem and says, <em>“I suggest you gentlemen invent a way to put a square peg in a round hole. Rapidly.”</em>
<p class="rteindent1"><em>Related:</em> <strong><a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/john-addison-3-ways-to-solve-problems-and-make-things-happen-right-now">3 Ways to Solve Problems and Make Things Happen</a></strong></p>
If you’ve seen the film’s conclusion, or you were around in 1970 to remember the Apollo mission to the moon, you know the engineers were able to solve the problem—they built the impossible-to-build CO2 filter, the astronauts were able to breathe again and, eventually, the crew returned home safely.

Many organizations today face similarly dramatic (though not as life threatening) situations. A client needs impossible results by the end of next week. The financials are in and profit by the end of the month looks like an impossibility. The product that took two years to develop just hit a serious snag.

Whatever it might be, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/how-to-be-a-better-thinker-innovator-and-problem-solver">the problem requires a solution</a> outside the normal method of thinking. Outside normal culture and procedure. It takes more than just “trying harder” within the closed system.

It requires an entire re-imagining of possibility.

I faced this exact problem when I challenged private industry to build a reusable aircraft that could launch, return to earth and launch again in under 48 hours.

The secret, I have found, to having these breakthrough solutions for what seem to be impossible problems is what I call <a href="https://youtu.be/HvLFoMNzD_k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Exponential Thinking</a>.

Exponential Thinking is about completely reimagining the problem itself. It’s constantly trying to fit the square peg in the round hole.

Let me show you what I mean.

Imagine if you were tasked to rebuild the engine of a car to get better gas mileage.

Traditional business growth strategies would ask you to take the car from 30 miles per gallon to 40 miles per gallon in the next 12 months. To <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/10-steps-to-achieve-any-goal">accomplish this goal</a>, you may retool the engine, look for inefficiencies, and reduce wind drag and weight on the design of the car.

Exponential Thinking asks you to take the car from 30 miles per gallon to 400 miles per gallon in the next six months. It requires you to 10x the goal itself. To accomplish this goal, you must completely rethink what the word “car” means. It isn’t a simple re-tooling of what already exists. It is a complete restart.

Exponential Thinking requires <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/7-essential-questions-inventors-should-ask-themselves">invention</a>.

Just like the engineers from <em>Apollo 13</em> who invented a new type of CO2 filter in order to save the astronauts’ lives, some problems in business require rapid innovation. They require the expansion of old boundaries and getting outside of our preconceived notions about how things “should” work.

One of the fastest ways to adopt the methodology of Exponential Thinking is to pull out a sheet of paper. Grab a pen and list all of the problems that your organization faces right now. Small or large, long-term or acute.

Now, and this may seem counterintuitive, line by line add impossible pressure to the problems. If you need to make $50,000 in sales this month, force yourself to believe that you have to actually make $500,000. 10x the mark you need to hit.

What you’ll find is a <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/blog/how-i-shifted-from-i-cant-to-i-can">mental shift</a> occurring each time you do. Your brain will rise to the occasion and offer up solutions that will not only be valuable to you, but may completely revolutionize your marketing industry. They will be new solutions.

Exponential Thinking is the opposite of complacency, and that’s why it works.

So the next time you’re faced with a “failure is not an option” problem, 10x the mark. Use Exponential Thinking to innovate a new solution. You’ll be in good company when you do.
