So, here I am again. Writing another blog. This one is more in response to John Wooden's TED talk video, and his quote unquote pyramid of success. Pressing forward on this, I don't rightly enjoy these kind of things, but I will give it a try, none the less. Welp, this is shortly after the video, and it is exactly what can be expected, but hey at least it makes us feel good. Anyway, point one, I found it more funny hearing him say being raised with the mindset that your parents expect a "A" or a "B," but the neighbors children can get a "C" since they are average, and you are not. That is quite funny since if you are an A or B student in most of your life, and you even think about touching a C in highschool or college level. You are dead to them, not actually, but you get the point. Toward the next one, don't try to be better then someone else. So many angles to go at this, but, let's go with the simple one, shall we. It is just good advice, if you try to be better then someone willingly in certain types of fields, and in a negative manner. That just makes you a right expletive word. It makes sense for sports and the like, but not like, "hey Tom, bet I can make a better pizza," people just shouldn't do that. Finally to the last idea here, one of faith. The thing that people always bring up when they are in trouble times, or someone near them is in trouble times. It is just a real good mindset when you think about it, and really when your mindset is positive, it makes things easier. One cannot be always in the red forever. So, now time for this pyramid of his. I get to choose two areas of it. I got the team spirit and all that. I just need an appropriate enviornment for it and all. Also, most of the time you need a team, and if you ain't got spirit. Well, sure as heck gonna make things a whole right more difficult. Self-control matters a lot, you need that just in general really when it comes to many things. If you don't control yourself, who will? Rhetorical, don't answer, but if you did say someone. Why are they controlling you that much? Are you saying without them you would be dead on the floor without someone to tell you what to do, or you become a mass murderer. You need that self-control to do things.
