Considering October 14, 2009 is John Wooden's birthday, I thought I would pay my tribute to the Hall of Fame coach and 10 champion by giving value investors some of the wizard's timeless advice. Happy 99th birthday Coach Wooden
[list ]"Ability is a poor man's wealth.""Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then."Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.""Be prepared and be honest.""Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.""Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.""Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.""I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.""If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes."[/list]
