John Wooden’s 7 Point Creed

Coach John Wooden was known for reciting a seven-point creed for life he said he received from his father.

The points:

• Be true to yourself.
• Make each day your masterpiece.
• Help others.
• Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
• Make friendship a fine art.
• Build a shelter against a rainy day.
• Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.
