Working Smarter Is Better Than Working Harder

My favorite quote is from the “Wizard of Westwood,” John Wooden, the UCLA head coach who won 10 NCAA national basketball championships in a 12-year period, including seven in a row:

          “Never mistake activity for achievement.”
— John Wooden 

 

Everybody loves to learn from winners, and there was nobody better than Wooden in his business. His teams won a men’s college basketball record 88 consecutive games. Wooden’s unbelievable streak of seven consecutive NCAA championships needs to be considered in context: to this day no other coach or school has won the tournament more than two consecutive years.

Wooden’s wisdom teaches that:

  • Working smarter produces more than working harder.
  • Focusing on getting things done is what counts — not how busy you are.
  • Dedication is what enables you to overcome obstacles and think creatively in achieving your goal.
  • Streamlining your workload is vital, because if what you’re doing doesn’t lead to your goal, you shouldn’t be doing it.
