Definition of Success


Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden's definition of success:  "Success is a peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction  in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming."


Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel expanded upon this definition in his book "The Winners Manual":  "Success is the inner satisfaction and peace of mind that come from knowing I did the best I was capable of doing for the group."

Tressel simply added the team component to his definition.  Great words of wisdom.
