Quote by John Wooden

It isn't what you do, but how you do it.

It isn't what you do, but how you do it.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that the manner in which you do something is more significant than the actual action itself. It suggests that the approach, attitude, and effort put into a task or behavior have a greater impact than the task itself. It implies that the right mindset, intention, and execution are crucial in achieving meaningful results and making a meaningful difference. Simply going through the motions without passion or purpose is not enough; it is the quality and intention behind our actions that truly matter.

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!

I can blend words easily with my pen, and show concepts from deep within. Yet not everyone gets the message I send. So why do I even let these words begin? Maybe they will soak in one day at the right time. When the readers on a new path to find. So for now I'll continue to drop ink and not worry about what other people think.
