The Pyramid of Success:  Block #1: Industriousness 

Quote: “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”

John Wooden was a basketball coach that was admired by many people. Throughout his life time he strives to make the lives of others better by giving them the gift of advice. Industriousness is an important thing to have in your life. The reason why it is important is because its good to keep yourself busy at all times. For Instance, even if you finished all your work it is good to take your free time and use it to benefit yourself by memorizing things.  John Wooden had to include industriousness as one of the blocks because making sure that your always busy and doing what you have to do ahead will separate you from others. For Example, not many people do their work ahead of time. I will apply thing part of the pyramid into my life by making sure i'm always on task. This will apply to school and home. Also, I will be able to encourage others into following my actions by also doing the pyramid that John Wooden created. The main reason why John Wooden created this was because he wanted people to be a better version of themselves. He wants people to realize that the pyramid is a way of a positive life.
