Seven Things To Do

The "Seven Thing to Do" listed below are taken from an article that I forwarded to The TriStone Team a few weeks ago. It was written by Harvey MacKay about Coach John Wooden. I like Harvey's weekly newsletter because he almost always writes about something that touches me in a positive and motivating way.

I would recommend that you take a few moments and study the life of Coach Wooden. He recently turned 99 years of age. He continues to live a life built around the "Seven Things to Do" listed below:

Quoted from Harvey MacKay's newsletter 9/24/09...

Coach Wooden credits his father for grounding him in the principles on which he has based his life and career.

"When I graduated from our little three-room grade school in Centerton, Indiana," says Wooden, "my father gave me a little card on which he had written out his creed." At the top of the card was written: "Seven Things to Do."





















Tony overlayed the "Seven Things To Do" above the TriStone Homes Logo. I have a printed copy, pinned to my wall and check myself against the list everyday. The older I get the more I realize how little I know and how much I have to learn about life in general.

In an attempt to self-educate I am currently reading several books that you may want to check out should you have an interest in stretching your mind to the limits of your imagination.
