Tribute to
John Wooden

TRIBUTE - Transformative Regenerative Interactions Beaconing Unity Transcendence Empathy (Universal Transcendental Ethic) - is going to be a flagship digital mass communication innovation of the Earth Cup Initiative that will unleash the humanizing impact of technology by implementing in real time what we have called Universal Access to Wisdom as a Human Right whereby we shall leave no stone unturned to democratize science, wisdom and spirituality globally through the unifying power, magical poetry and calligraphy of sports. "Philosophy of the school room in one generation will be philosophy of the government in the next.", Abraham Lincoln said so providently, prophetically and portentously. These words of Abraham Lincoln shall be the beacon light for our TRIBUTE initiative. Very few in the history of sports have epitomized the magical power and psalms of sports to ignite inner enlightenment as magnificently and chivalrously as Coach John Wooden did. Rest in peace the Wizard of Westwood! Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but the wise words of Coach John Wooden shall endure!

TRIBUTE - inspired by the transformative whole-life-focused coaching paradigm of John Wooden and integrated with a whole-earth perspective on purpose-driven holistic success (PDHS) - is the Earth Cup's proprietary Enligtoxidation initiative (transformative learning for perspective transformation encompassing psychological, convictional and behavioral dimensions) that will be dedicated to nourishing and unleashing the inside force every child is born with. If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from the inside!

Once you become a good person, then you have a chance of becoming a good basketball player.

- John Wooden


You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

- John Wooden


Make every day your masterpiece.

- John Wooden


The ability to see the good in others and the bad in ourselves is perfect vision.

Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.

- John Wooden
