2. “The definition I coined for success is: Peace of mind
attained only through self satisfaction in knowing you
made the effort to become the best of which you're
capable. Now, we're all equal there. We're not all equal
as far as intelligence is concerned. We're not equal as
far as size. We're not all equal as far as appearance. We
do not all have the same opportunities. We're not born in
the same environments, but we're all absolutely equal in
having the opportunity to make the most of what we
have and not comparing or worrying about what others
have. I coined that in 1934. Later, I started working on
my pyramid. I worked on that for the next 14 years,
placing success according to my definition at the apex.”
John Wooden, UCLA's legendary basketball coach, who died at age 99 (1910-2010)
