I wasn't sure if anyone had hurd about this, but I just found out a few minutes ago that on last night, John Wooden , one of the best coatches for UCLA, died last night of natural causes. from what my friend told me earlier he was 99. an article about him is available on wikapedia if you want to know more about him.

The following are some quotes
that I've heard and are attributed to
John Wooden as having made~~

~It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

~If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes.

~The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.

~You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one

~There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.

He was a legend in his time and had an amazing record at UCLA during the years he coached. Ninety nine years is a long life, and I'm sure he led his life to the fullest.
