Most careers involve other people. You can have great academic intelligence and still lack social intelligence--the ability to be a good listener, to be sensitive toward others, to give and take criticism well.

Winning teams have players who put the good of the team ahead of themselves. They want to play in their area of strength, but they're willing to do what it takes to take care of the team. They are willing to sacrifice their role for the greater goal.

One of the ways Coach Wooden used to do that was to ask his players to acknowledge the skills and contributions of others. He told each player that if a teammate made a great pass or set a pick that allowed him to score, he should acknowledge the teammate on the way back down the court. One time a player asked, "Coach, if we do that, what if the teammate that made the assist isn't looking?" Coach Wooden replied, "He will always be looking."..

Contentment is taking your present situation--whatever obstacles you are facing, whatever limitation you are living with, whatever chronic condition wears you down, whatever has smashed your dreams, whatever factors and circumstances in life tend to push you under--and admitting you don't like it but never saying, "I can't cope with it." --
