Today we picked Phil Jackson. Here's Wednesday Wickedness!
1. "Always keep an open mind and a compassionate heart.” Do you ALWAYS keep an open mind? There are some issues that I keep an open mind on.
2. “Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.” Who is the wisest person you know? Who is the strongest? I guess the wisest person and the strongest person that I personally know is my dad.
3. "Yes, victory is sweet, but it doesn't necessarily make life any easier the next season or even the next day." Do you think a successful day at your job makes the next day better or not? Nope. That's why we should always strive to be better each day.
4. "...True joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way." How would we tell by your behavior if you are having a bad day? Do not worry about that because if I am having a bad day, you will definitely see it.
5. "I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul." Do you have days when you feel you gave it your all, but may have compromised your values? Nope.. not yet anyways.
6. "Your problems never cease. They just change." What do you feel is your biggest problem at the moment? The biggest problem that I have right now is the schedule on Saturday.
7. "My dad always had this little sign on his desk: "The bigger your head is, the easier your shoes are to fill." He really drilled that in." Does your ego sometimes get in your way? Sometimes I guess
8. "There is a saying that I love...It says: "There are no Zen masters, there's only Zen." "Zen master" is a contradiction in terms. You don't master Zen." Do you believe in Zen? If yes, can it be mastered? I believe in Zen but I haven't thought much about whether it could be mastered or not.
9. "You can not teach competitiveness." Do you believe you could teach someone, like your child, to be competitive? I do not really know. Somehow competitiveness comes from within. However, if you teach your child to do her best at every occasion that calls for it.. competitiveness follows suit?
10. "Home is where the heart is, right?” Obviously Phil didn't originate this quote. He said it when asked if he'd retire after this season. Do you believe home is not a place but rather a state of mind? Definitely.. home is a state of mind. You can be anywhere with your family and feel right at home or you can be at home but your family is not there... thus, you do not feel at home.
