Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court

Living Up to Dad’s Creed

I am now in my eighth decade and I would like to be able to tell you that I lived up to Dad’s creed, but I am more like the fellow who said:

I am not what I ought to be,

Not what I want to be,

Not what I am going to be,

But I am thankful that

I am better than I used to be.

It’s important to keep trying to do what you think is right no matter how hard it is or how often you fail. You never stop trying. I’m still trying.
