John Wooden's Father's Seven Rules For Living

In John Wooden's last book, "A Game Plan for Life: The Power of Mentoring," he talked about 7 rules that his father had, or rather 7 things that he tried to live by. They were:

1. Be true to yourself
2. Make each day your masterpiece
3. Help others
4. Drink deeply in good books
5. Make friendship a fine art
6. Build a shelter against a rainy day
7. Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day

I thought this was a great list and really would have a positive impact on anyone if they were able to live all of these things out. I was going to write very briefly about each point, but I thought it would be fun to make each one into a post, because the things are just that good!

Stay tuned!
