What is the Pyramid of Success? Legendary Coach John Wooden actually wrote a kids' book for it:
It's about practicing different qualities/values, or "building blocks", that help you succeed in life. These blocks include qualities like self-control, loyalty, enthusiasm, and poise. And one of the cutest aspects of the book is that there is a short rhyme to remember each block.
After we finished reading, we invited the students to reflect on the building blocks they most need to work on. (Some students still need to work on humility and honesty, but that's another story.) We had a pretty good chat about the pyramid, but then the bell rang, signaling that it was time to go home. I hope they keep this book in mind and also take it to heart.
We shall see...
