The late John Wooden.

A man of many maxims derived from a lifetime of success that was under-pinned by a desire to serve Christ first and live everything else second.

Here is his simple seven point creed given to him by his father upon his graduation...

• Be true to yourself.
• Make each day your masterpiece.
• Help others.
• Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
• Make friendship a fine art.
• Build a shelter against a rainy day.
• Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.
