Here’s a collection of some of the greatest “Woodenisms.”

“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”

“Never mistake activity for achievement.”

“Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.”

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

“Be prepared and be honest.”

“Be quick, but don’t hurry.”

“You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one.”

“You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”

“What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.”

“Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.”

“A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.”

“I’d rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.”

“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”

“If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.”

“It isn’t what you do, but how you do it.”

“Ability is a poor man’s wealth.”

“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.”

“Consider the rights of others before your own feelings and the feelings of others before your own rights.”

“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”

“Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.”

“It’s not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.”

“It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”

“It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”

“Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.”

“The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.”

“Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”

“Success is never final; failure is never fatal. It’s courage that counts.”

I am currently reading the “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren. Today’s lesson really hit home as it connected “what matters most” with good time management. Time is our most precious gift as we only have a set amount of it and none can be recovered.

Because your life is ALL ABOUT time and how you spend it, this is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time. In order to do this you must schedule what’s important and create a STOP DOING list in order to focus on the things that matter most.

The answer therefore to what matters most is “time that you give loved ones.” Every moment we give our children, our family or our friends and especially the time we take to really listen to our wives are the greatest gifts of all.

These sentences and reflections really gave me a lift today and renewed perspective:

The best use of time is love.
The best expression of love is time.
The best time to love is now.

Why now? Because you don’t know how long you will have this opportunity. Circumstances change. People die. Children grow up. You have no guarantee of tomorrow. If you want to express love, you better do it now.

To anyone who sees or reads this post… INVEST TIME NOW with all your loved ones
