h u s t l e ) John Woodens Pyramid of Success In a period of 14 years, ending with his tenure at Indiana State University, John Wooden worked on his famous Pyramid of Success. He put suc- cess, according to his definition, at the apex. The first two blocks of the pyramid are the two corner- stones because to be strong, you have to have a strong foundation, said Wooden. The cornerstones of success to me, in any- thing, are hard work and enj oy what youre doing. So, one cornerstone is industriousness and the other is enthusiasm. Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfac- tion in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. -John Wooden
