Pyramid of Success
John Wooden
Coach Wooden site The Pyramid
Block 1;
"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."
The hard work is that you can not escape. You must be willing to work and not be lazy like me. Those who work are rewarded than those who are not. There is no easy shortcut in the way of life but if there is one tell me. What the quote says is that hark comes success and we are part of a success if we work. Like Rihanna song we got to work work work work work, also learn learn learn learn learn.
Block 3:
Block 2:
"It is 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."
Block 3:
"Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires a joint effort."
For marriage its friendship. But you need friends in your life unless you an assassin then you must cut off everybody from your life. For example like Denzel Washington from The Equalizer he had to give up his old life and begin a new life. Until he meets a young escort in a diner that he builds a friendship with her. They were best friends right off the bat. Until the pimp beat up the girl and Denzel went to buy her freedom but the pimp said no. So Denzel killed the pimp and his gang. Then they sent more people to kill Denzel and Denzel killed everybody.
Block 4: Loyalty
"To yourself and to all those depending upon you. Keep your self-respect."
There is no more loyalty than the dog named Hachiko. That dog waited all his life for his dead master to return. This dog is more loyal than guys walking out on their wife's and kids. Also more loyal than a guy promising you something but leaves you hanging. Loyalty is about commitment, like Hachiko was to his master. He is a shiba inu dog type, so they do not play fetch. Only when they know their master is going to die then they play fetch or does a trick that the master tried to teach them.
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."
Blah blah blah ctr blah blah cooperating in writing this boring block. blah blah blah ctr always blah blah this class is boring. cooperate together blah blah be a team ctr do great in life. blah blah blah im bored so im gonna cooperate ctr blah .+
Block 6; Ambition
Block 7: Self-Control
"Practice self-discipline and keep emotions under control. Good judgement and common sense are essential."
There is no greater discipline than a Mexican mother hitting her child's with a chancla, or a belt, or a wire, or a stick. Just kidding there is no greater discipline than samurais. They grow up with discipline and act in a mature way. Too bad times changed and the people forgot about the samurais, they feared no one and accepted death when the time came.
Block 8: Alertness
"Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve."
We got to stay open minded in life. Cause in life we will get destroyed fast by something unexpected. Also in the military you have to be alert all the time. Same goes for in a battlefield
Block 9: Initiative
"Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."
Initiative is about being independent, by making decision. You are suppose to be not afraid to take a stand, cause everybody come take my hand, we will walk this road together. whatever weather cold or warm. just letting you know you are not alone. Sometimes you have to make the first move in order for people to follow your steps.
Block 10: Intentness
"Set a realistic goal. Concentration on its achievement by resisting all temptations. Be determined and persistent."
Block 11: Sincerity
Keeps friends
Sincerity is just about being good friends. You need good friends in life to survive this cruel world. Also having a good friend will do crazy stuff with you. For example you catch the guy that been sleeping with your girl, and you call your friend to help you beat him up. Hell he would be glad to help him out in one condition whats in it for him. Probably when they go to the cheaters house they could might as well steal idk. Life is like a game where you put your life at stake. Its alright to have friends in life, at first you have a lot of friends but then lose after awhile. They be going their separate ways
Block 12: Adaptability
To any situation
This picture clarifies of the tree adapting to changing. Like how this tree changes from spring to fall.
In time idk if it was evolution or from adam & eve but we came from somewhere. We learn to adapt and stayed alive. Those who didnt adapt to the environment later died sad. People nowadays are not adapt to face reality than what i do. People be facing the other way when their is a disaster in that way then this. For example the news is full of bullshit that people believe in. Like theres feminism, icepolice, police brutality, disasters its all full of bullshit. If people die others will be grieving and get angry. Then theres me now giving a fuck, why because i adapted seeing the truth of reality. Then later on i make jokes about disasters and stuff.
Block 13: Condition
"Mental-Moral-Physical. Rest, exercise and diet must be considered. Moderation must be practiced. Dissipation must be eliminated."
Condition means many things like cleaning or stuff. Condition could mean about your body. How to be fit and stay healthy that is condition. Another thing of condition is keep your room clean also the house. You do not live in a damn pig pen with everything all over your room. With condition you have to eat good, you have to eat healthy to live a longer live. Another is mental condition. Keep your mind straight and focus dont let anybody tell you how to be you.
Block 14: Skill
"A knowledge of and the ability to properly and quickly execute the fundamentals. Be prepare and cover every little detail."
There are many different types of skills. For example "strippers" but they like to be called entertainers or dancers have a very high skill. They dance like there is no tomorrow and are very athletic with the pole. Also athletes who have many skills in playing in the field. There are many people with skills that they themselves dont even realize. One of us could have a skill of leadership and one day be a president. People need to learn many skills to survive in the world.
Block 15: Team Spirit
"A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interests of glory for the welfare of all."
There is no greater team work and spirit than those who server our country. Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy all have great team work and team spirit. Also Brian(Paul Walker) has a nice team spirit with Vin Disel.
Block 17: Resourcefulness
Proper Judgement
Sometimes you have to think outside the box and be a smart-ass. Sometimes you have to take what you have and deal with it. For example the nig** frog here is using a leaf to protect itself from the rain. Why the frog using this? because he smart he smarter than people themselves.
Block 18: Poise
"Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation." Graceful and elegant bearing in a person.
Nothing more elegant than a chef making your tacos.
Block 19: Confidence
"Respect without fear. May come from being prepared and keeping all things in proper perspective"
Its ok to be confident but if you start be too confident you mess up. Then you become cocky and people will hate you. Having confidence in life will be beneficial and stuff. For example you playing a game thats important. You or your team is losing and you need to get this right to win. Would you have confidence and fight or be a coward and lose. Either way its good, if its too good then its bad. Life is tricky.
Block 20: Reliability
Creates respect
Reliability is when you trust people.
Block 21: Fight
Determined effort
In life you have to fight what is yours. For example WW2, hitler fought for what was his. The Americans fought because the Japanese attacked them.
Block 22: Competitive Greatness
"Be at your best when your best is needed. Enjoyment of a difficult challenge"
To be competitive just kill the opponents.
Block 23: Integrity
Purity of intention
You could be integrity by building relationships until they backstab you and cheat on you. Overall its nice making new friends. You could also make a list on your everyday life like taking out the trash, cleaning your room, getting rid of the body and many more. Also you have to respect the property of others. Just like the whites did with the blacks or slaves. You have to be faithful and listen to the other persons. Then one day you accidentally listen to one of your friends talking shit.
Block 24: Faith
Believe and Achieve
There are many ways to interpret faith. It could be about patience, believe, fear or etc.. The greatest faith is the persons in the movie Saws. There lies a true faith live or die. If they survive they are rebirth or feel grateful at the end. Only one survived named Amanda. She was grateful at the end that she rely's that she felt rejoice. When you want something you are getting greedy, just have a bit of faith/patience and it will come to you.
Block 25: Patience
Good things take time
sit back and relax. we have time in this world. but we never appreciate what we have till something dramatic happens. This picture describes everything in one pic. Having good patience is beneficial. A person is bullying you, relax, be patience find out where the person lives and plan your attack. It is all good just set the house on fire in night. Patience really is good for everybody.

Pyramid of Success Final Reflection
Some building blocks are beneficial to us in a way of life. All of them are very important in a way.
Block 21 is very important to me. You have to fight the things you love or want. Like a job position, you have to fight others for the position.
For right now none because i am lazy.
Some could help me in school and others could help me in home.
I will teach them by explaining and showing it to them. Going to tell them to ctr all the time.
