True success -- John Wooden


True success comes only to an individual by self-satisfaction in knowing that you gave everything to become the very best that you are capable of.

Others may have far more ability than you have, they may be larger, faster, quicker, able to jump better, etc., but no one should be your superior in team spirit, loyalty, enthusiasm, cooperation, determination, industriousness, fight, and character.

Acquire and keep these traits and success will follow. - John Wooden

(Jas. 5:14, 15) And constantly keeping in mind the Scriptural hope of everlasting life can help to sustain us during tests of our faith.—
