Attention to Detail

7 to 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite source carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead 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 paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things but from small things come great thing; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

“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 of 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

Give it you’re all in everything that you do. You will never be able to go back and rewind time, so why not make the best out of the day and improve yourself? You should always try and improve yourself at everything you do because practice makes perfect. Whether it’s learning how to do something or it’s in a job, you should always improve each day. By improving and giving it your all at something like work you will get promoted to a better job. It never hurts to not improve and give it your all so why not do it?

The Three Don’ts

·       Don’t Whine

·       Don’t Complain

·       Don’t Make Excuses

                         -John Wooden

I agree with Wooden these three don’t will not get you anywhere. When whining, complaining, and making excuses you are just wasting time. If you are doing these three don’t with a homework assignment it won’t get you anywhere. At the end of the day you will have nothing done and you are still required to turn it in. Follow John Wooden words they will get you far in life.

“The Three Nevers”

Never lie

Never Cheat

Never steal

-John Wooden

John Wooden words are words to follow. One should never to the three nevers because it will lead one to horrible consequences. With doing the three never nothing good comes out of it; your freedom will be limited, you will be unhappy, unsuccessful, and etc. If you never lie, never cheat, and never steal, you are preparing yourself for success you will live much happier. If in attest you cheat and lie, you will not deserve the grade given to you and that will follow you forever. Never do the three nevers as John Wooden says to enjoy life.
