I was talking to a friend this morning about Barry Bonds and cheating and honor. He said that he had befriended John Wooden, the famed “Wizard of Westwood” – winner of 10 NCAA championships in 12 years, winner of 88 games in a row.
\nHe pulled out a card Wooden had given him with his keys to life. Here they are:<\/p>\n
Two Sets of 3s
\nNever Lie
\nNever Cheat
\nNever Steal
\nDon’t Whine
\nDon’t Complain
\nDon’t Make Excuses\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nA poem:<\/p>\n
Four things a man must learn to do
\nIf he would make his life more true:
\nTo think without confusiion clearly,
\nTo love his fellow man sincerely.
\nTo act from honest motives purely,
\nTo trust in God and Heaven securely.
\nRev. Henry Van Dyke\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAnd seven truths:<\/p>\n
1. Be true to yourself.
\n2. Help others.
\n3. Make each day your masterpiece
\n4. Drink deeply from good books – Especially the Bible.
\n5. Make friendship a fine art.
\n6. Build shelter against a rainy day (faith in God).
\n7. Pray for guidance and counsel and give thanks for your blessings every day.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nGood for sports, good for us too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
