"Others may have more ability than you, they may be larger, faster, quicker, better jumpers, better shooters, but no one should be your superior in respect to team spirit, loyalty, enthusiasm, cooperation, determination, industriousness, fight, effort and character." - John Wooden
Team spirit. Enthusiasm. Determination. Effort. Character. They make such sense, intellectually. Something bad happens... see it as not so bad. See the world around as missing a few smiles, and fill in the gaps. Take a second wind after receiving a body blow.
Few of us will star in the work place, any more than on the court. That's the nature of teams.
But we can star in the way we carry ourselves. Measuring against the standard of the best we think we can be. Focusing on character more than reputation. At the end of the day, did I make good choices consistently, or did I get distracted? A day spent on task is the superior day.
