The Pyramid
The 25 Building Blocks of the Pyramid of Success
Block 1: Industriousness
"In plain and simple English this means hard work. Very hard work. There is no substitute for very hard work when it comes to success."
What this is trying to say is that to be successful and to get far, comes very hard work that you need to do. Success isn't handed to you you need to work for it. Industrious means very hard-working. So to be successful means you have to be industrious. That is the first block of the pyramid of success. What it means to me is to not be a procrastinator. Staying on top and doing your work at all times.
Block 2: Enthusiasm
"It is the engine that powers all blocks of the Pyramid. It is why I chose Industriousness and Enthusiasm as the cornerstones of my Pyramid of Success. It is where everything begins."
I agree with what John Wooden has to say about his Pyramid of Success. He says that industriousness and enthusiasm is the start of everything and it's true. To be successful, you need to do hard work and actually be enthusiastic about it. If you're not enthusiastic about the work you're doing, it isn't going to be the best you've done and you're not going to put 100% in it like you should. Enthusiasm is very important not only to be successful but you should use enthusiasm in everyday life. It would make things way easier.
Block 3: Friendship
"Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires a joint effort."
One of the blocks in the pyramid of success is friendship. To reach the top of the success pyramid you need to have good friendships, which you can rely on. To have a good friendship you need to have joint effort. You must not take it for granted because friendships give support. To be successful something you really need is support. Support in whatever you want to do and dream to do. With no support it is hard to be motivated to keep on going and reaching your goals. It is important to not take the friendships for granted, because if you do, you might lose them. Friendships build when you have the same respect, devotion, and mutual esteem.

Block 4: Loyalty
"To yourself and to all those depending upon you. Keep your self-respect."
Block 5: Cooperation
"With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way."
According to John Wooden, to be successful you need you cooperate. With whomever it may be, being respectful is necessary. Helping eachother come up with a solution is better than figuring everything on your own. You don't need to figure everything on your own. It is best when you are cooperating.
