Examination of Detail: 7 of 10

Examination of Detail
7 of 10

When you review your calculations for a mathematically integrated problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re cautiously examining details. This skill is quite useful in any work environment, whether you maintain a database; keep a log of the hours you devote with clients or write e-mails.

          John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even diligently examined detail when his players would lace and tie their shoe strings. If they did not lace them adequately, he would instruct them on the proper procedure.

          Details may even seem miniscule, but from miniscule things come forth amazing wonders; therefore, carefully examine details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

“Be quick, but don’t get into a hurry.” John Wooden

This is an amazing quote by former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden. Almost every human being makes a decision every day. To make a decision you must be diligent not urgent because when someone makes a rash decision they do not allow themselves time to think about their decisions and the possible consequences therefore their decision is inadequately formulated. Even tasks of minor importance require diligence when decisions are made that can contribute to the task. If you make a decision when expressing urgency you will not think of the consequences and this will provide undesired results.

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

John Wooden

This is an amazing quote by former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden. Being a dedicated athlete I also believe that you can never compensate for a lost day of training. If we expect to become better at something then we should continuously indulge ourselves in that activity with the desire to improve. If you apply yourself positive results will soon manifest themselves because of your effort and every day you will improve (even though it may not seem that way.) Dedication is a large contributing factor to improvement and depends on how much is exerted. This marvelous quote explains the importance of dedication and also depicts the countless individuals that have been inspired by Mr. Wooden.

“The Three Don’ts: Don’t whine, Don’t complain, and Don’t make excuses.”
John Wooden

This is an amazing quote by former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden. You can never prosper if you complain about doing things that will benefit you later on. For example, if you are complaining to your Physical Education instructor that you do not want to run, that it’s hard, and so on while you are not aware that by running you will improve your time on the mile test. Those who whine, complain, and formulate excuses for what they cannot do are blinded by doubt which can deferment their ability to prosper. These “Don’ts” express the fundamental attributes that are essential for success.
