10 things from Pat Williams

Last summer I went to the International Shelby Conference where Pat Williams, Co-founder and Senior Vice President, of the Orlando Magic was the keynote speaker.  As I was cleaning my desk and a conference bag they gave out I came across my notes from his speech.

1. Live your life by the faith phenom
2. Character counts (Honesty, Integrity)
3. Never give up
4. Go the second mile
5. Take your hurts and turn them into strengths
6. Seek out the right kind of friends
7. You are responsible (for the decisions you make)
8. Be specific in goal setting
9. Say the right kind of words
10. Think positive thoughts

He also shared a quote from John Wooden that I really liked, “If you can’t discipline yourself, someone else will have to do it for you, and the cost is much higher.”
