Pyramid of Success
John Wooden
Block 1: Industriousness
Block 2: Enthusiasm
" It is the engine that powers all blocks of the pyramid. It is why i chose Industriousness and Enthusiasm as the cornerstones of my pyramid of success. It is where everything begins."
-This is saying that when you have enthusiasm it like gets you pumped up to do things it gives you the energy and the motivation to the things you don't want to do. When you don't have enthusiasm then you most likely won't do the things you need to do because you don't have no type of energy or motivation to do things. This is why you need to have a little bit of enthusiasm to at least motivate you and get the blood flowing in your body so you can have some energy and make you want to do things and be active. When you have enthusiasm it can motivate other people as well. You may think it won't but it can lets say you have a friend that down and depressed and doesn't want to do anything or she just won't smile so you try to boost her self esteem with you enthusiasm.
Block 3: Friendship
" Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires a join effort."
-This is implying that in order to keep a friendship you must put a part of yourself to keep the friendship. Just like marriage when you don't put your part in a marriage things go bad and can lead to a divorce. When people don't put their part in a relationship or friendship things can start changing and those relationships and friendships can end. If you have good self esteem and motivate your significant other or you best friend that is good because you are positive about your relationship and friendship with that person. When you have a good relationship/friendship with someone it means that
Block 4: Loyalty
" To yourself and to all those depending upon you. Keep your self- respect."
What this is saying is that no matter what you do or what you say you need to have loyalty. Having loyalty is important because when you have loyalty then a lot of people will have more trust in you. You need to have loyalty because you might need it when you are working ,in your relationship, your friendship, at school etc etc the point is that when you have loyalty there is less of a chance to get involved in problems. When you are loyal to someone they can see that your a good person with good deeds and that they can trust you with anything and know that they won't say anything to anyone.
Block 5: Cooperation
" With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way."
- This is saying that when you want to say something you have to listen before you say something because if you interrupt someone it is rude and most likely other people won't hear what you have to say. You have to cooperate when you want to get something done because if you don't cooperate you probably won't get what you need to get done done. For example when you're at school you have to cooperate with your classmates and teachers because you don't want to get in trouble. When you cooperate you get things done fast and the right way. When you don't cooperate things will be done slowly and will be done wrong because you didn't cooperate with your teammates while doing the project.
Block 6: Ambition
" For noble goals"
- What this is saying is that you need to be ambitious when you want to achieve something. Being ambition means that you need to put hard work in what you want to achieve you can't just say a goal and not do anything to achieve, because you won't achieve your goal without any effort and hard work. Like lets say if your an athlete like a soccer player and you want to make it big one day, then that means that you need to practice every single day to improve your mistakes and you need to inform yourself about what to do and what not to do. You need put a part of your time so you are able to achieve that goal, because lets say you do want to make it big one day but you don't do anything to achieve it then your goal won't come to you just like that you need to find a way and put a part of yourself to make sure you achieve it to make sure you're on the right path to make it big. You need to be ambitious with anything you want to achieve in your life because when you don't have ambition then you don't have the spirit and energy to do it.
Block 7: Self-Control
"Practice self- discipline and keep emotions under control. Good judgement and common sense are essential."
-This is saying that you need to have self-control because when you don't things can get out of hand and can not end up well... Some people are able to control their emotions and others can't. People that have anger issue's have a lot more trouble controlling their emotions because they already have a lot to deal with. Some people may not understand that it is hard for them to control their emotions in a situation where there is a lot of arguing and things being said to them. From personal experience i've seen people like that that don't have self control and when they can't control it it is hard for them to calm down. Also for you to have self control you need to have common sense and also know when to keep your emotions under control.
Block 8: Alertness
" Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve."
What this is saying is that you need to be alert on everything. You need to be alert when your doing something because you never know what can happen. You always need to be observing your surroundings no matter what, for example let's say you're babysitting and your cooking and you leave the stove for a minute and one of the kids touches and then they get burned this is why you always have to be alert.
Block 9: Initiative
" Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."
This is saying that you need to have initiative when you do something because when you have initiative you are independent and that is a food thing because people can see that you don't need to depend on someone else but yourself. Having initiative is a good quality because people can see what type of person you are. For example when you meet someone you need to have initiative and talk to them, you can't just be there ignoring them because then they'll think your rude or think that you don't like them.
Block 10: Intentness
" Set a realistic goal. Concentrate on its achievement by resisting all temptations. Be determined and persistent."
- What this is saying is that you need to set a real goal and a goal that will take time for you to achieve it and that requires time and effort from you. You need to do everything to achieve your goal every temptation that is in your way of not achieving your goal you need to ignore that temptation and continue on trying to reach your goal no matter how long it takes. In order for you to achieve your goal you need to be determined because if your not determined then you will never reach your goal... well maybe you will achieve it but slowly and it will feel like forever.
Block 11: Sincerity
" keep friends"
Block 12: Adaptability
" To any situation."
- What this is saying is to adapt yourself to your surroundings. No matter where you are you need to adapt yourself and make the best out of it. For example lets say you move to a new area but you don't really like the area compared to where you used to live, you need to adapt yourself into living there because that's your new home and area where your going to be living there for quite some time. Also we can say for example that your taking a test and they move you to an area that is somewhat hard for you to concentrate but you can't adapt yourself so you decide to not take the test anymore.In situations like that you need to be able adapt because just because you can't adapt yourself to a new area your gonna fail your test or your assignment. In situations where you are being moved a lot you need to be able to adapt yourself in a new area. If you aren't able to adapt yourself in a new area its going to be hard for you to work.
Block 13: Condition
"Mental-Moral-Physical. Rest, exercise and diet must be considered. Moderation must be practiced.Dissipation must be eliminated.
- What this is saying is that in order for you to have Mental-Moral-Physical you need to rest and your diet needs to be considered. You need to practice your moderation for you to have mental moral and physical conditions. There are good conditions and bad conditions but both of them involve some kind of change, it can be a good change for a good condition or it can be a bad change for a bad condition or it can be viceversa.
Block 14: Skill
" A knowledge of and the ability to properly and quickly execute the fundamentals. Be prepared and cover every little detail."
- This is saying that when you do something you need to do it properly and know what your doing because if you know what your doing then you get the job done faster. For example let's say that you have a project or you have a presentation for your job or at school so you want to get as much done as possible and try to have an answer for anything that has to do with your presentation so you are prepared to answer any question your audience may ask you. When you present you should try to cover as much as possible from your presentation and be very detailed about your presentation and provide examples etc. It doesn't just have to be for a presentation you can also use these skills when your doing a job interview.
Block 15: Team Spirit
" A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interests of glory for the welfare of all."
- What this is saying is that you need to have others in mind when you do things or when you say something you need to have those in mind just in case you don't end up offending someone or them taking it the wrong way or something to happen. For example if you're in a team then you need to have team spirit you always need to be cheering your team on through good and bad times. You also need to keep in mind that what ever you actions are they affect your team because you play, win and lose as a team.
Block 16: Honesty
" In thought and action."
-This is saying that when you do something you need to have honesty in mind because if you don'y have honesty in mind then you will get a bad concequence and in the moment yo will think why weren't you honest in the first place. Not being honest can get you in so much trouble.
Block 17: Resourcefulness
"proper judgement."
-What this is saying is that when you do things you need to be resourceful. For example lets say that your doing a project and you write down what you know about your topic etc and its time for you to present in class or turn it in and the teacher asks you where did you get your information and you say " i already knew what i was going to write because i know what the topic is about." but then she asks you but its from a resource then you don't know what to say because the information you wrote down isn't reliable.
Block 18: Poise
" Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation"
Graceful and elegant bearing in a person.
- What this is saying is that just being yourself is a good thing because you don't have to worry about anything. If your yourself your at ease in any situation, when your posie things tend to get better because when you're poise your being yourself and you really don't care what people have to say about you because your calm at any situation. Most people aren't poise because they worry about what other people are going to say about them or their worried that people are going to judge them either in a bad or good way.
Block 19: Confidence
"Respect without fear. May come from being prepared and keeping all the things in proper perspective."
- This is saying that you at all times need to be respectful and not have fear if you have fear in being respectful then you won't ever be respectful because the fear will stop you from being respectful. This is also saying that you need to be prepared for all things and you need to keep things in a proper perspective because if you don't then things can go bad.
Block 20: Reliability
" Creates Respect."
-This is saying that reliability creates respect. When you're reliable then people can trust you with anything. This is good because when people rely on you and trust you then you start earning respect, being respected is a good thing because then people can see that other people have respect for you for a reason and then that person will start respecting you becasue it is the right thing to do.

If you're going to fight you need to have determined effort and you need to be focused on what your doing because if you don't then you are not determined to fight and your're just doing what ever you want to get what you want. For example you can't just fight for something you don't even know what you're fighting for, you need to know what you're fighting for so that you can be determined while you're fighting for what you want.When you show determination people will see how serious and how competitive you are. Having determination says all alot about a person.
Block 22: Competitive Greatness
" Be at your best when your best is needed. Enjoyment of a difficult challange."
- This is saying that when your best is needed then you need to give the best you can to demonstrate to other people what you are capable of. If you are already doing your best then keep on doing your best because at the end its all woth it. When someone asks you to be on your best behavior then do it by listening to them because they are telling you to be on your best behavior for a reason. Lets say that your in a sport and your at your game and your team is losing by 5 pts but you're already giving your best then you need to try harder and give it your all because you can't let your team down by giving up on those 5 pts. If you give yourself a little push then you'll go far but if you don't push yourself then you'll stay where you're at and struggle more along the way.
Block 23: Integrity

" In plain and simple English this means hard work. Very hard work. There is no substitute for very hard work when it comes to success."
