(Double click image. Then Double click again to play the song)


Do the right thing, do the right thing
Do it all the time, do it all the time
Make yourself right, never mind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering
Do the right thing, do the right thing
Do it all the time, do it all the time
Make yourself right, never mind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering
Do the right thing, do the right thing
Do it all the time, do it all the time
Make yourself right, never mind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering
I see you up again wandering so diligent
Crossing your t's as though it weren't irrelevant
They say formality, this is what they really meant:
They can be the walk, we can, we can be the pavement
Do the right thing, do the right thing
Do it all the time, do it all the time
Make yourself right, never mind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering
So what you're up against, all the disingenuous
They wave you along and say there's always room for us
But we know better than that to take 'em serious
Still don't let 'em make you bitter in the process
And when the light is up, this is how oughta be (do the right thing)
We'll make it alright, they'll come around eventually (do it all the time)
They say it's nothing but that ain't the reality (do it all the time)
They may take us on but they can never take us easy
And they ain't moving, they're just moving around
So if you love yourself, you better get out
Get out, get out, get out now
Do the right thing, do the right thing (do the right thing)
Do it all the time, do it all the time (do it all the time)
Make yourself right, never mind them (do it all the time)
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering
(I hear a higher calling)
Do the right thing, do the right thing (do the right thing)
(Better here than there I guess)
Do it all the time, do it all the time (do it all the time)
(So long)
Make yourself right, never mind them (do it all the time)
(So long)
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

The Arete Life




  1. “ Make each day your masterpiece.” - John Wooden


“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece. Too often we get distracted by what is outside our control. You can’t do anything about yesterday. The door to the past has been shut and the key thrown away. You can do nothing about tomorrow. It is yet to come. However, tomorrow is in large part determined by what you do today. So make today a masterpiece….This rule is even more important in life than in basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be.”




2.
“Paint a masterpiece daily. Always autograph your work with excellence.” Greg Hickman


3. World Champion Fire knife Dancer - Mikaele Oloa
2016 World fireknife Champion: Mikaele Oloa declared world champion, 5x champion


4.
"Life is a journey of tenacity. Only the tough gets to the top through the storm. Take the steps one by one though the errand may be arduous. Never give up though you may grow weary. Think of the purpose though its attainment may be tough. Dare to get to the crown though you may meet the obstacles. You are never born to relax all day but to dare to do the undone. If only it is reasonable enough within the real reasons of your life, and if your soul and spirit convince you of getting it done, then, you have the real reasons to dare for the crown.”
5. You Can Do Anything You Must Do - Vaughn J. Featherstone
If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it;
If only desire of it
Makes your aim strong enough
Never to tire of it,
If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,
If gladly you’ll sweat for it,
Fret for it,
Plan for it,
Pray with all your strength for it,
If you’ll simply go after the thing that you want,
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope, and confidence; stern pertinacity,
If neither cold or poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness, nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the aim that you want,
If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You’ll get it.
V J Featherstone

What It Takes to be Number One” - Vince Lombardi


"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in awhile; you don't do things right once in awhile; you do them right all of the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.


There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.


Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.


Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization - an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.


It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there - to compete. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win.


And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.


I don't say these things because I believe in the ‘brute' nature of men or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour -- his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear -- is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."



13. John Wooden’s definition of success:
"Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming."

When You Tell One Lie
Paul Hatch
When you tell one lie, it leads to another
So you tell two lies to cover each other
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,
You're in trouble up to your ears!
So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect
A life filled with worries and fears
'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told
And half the things you say aren't true
And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then
Whatever will become of you?
So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying
Then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you're closing the door
On everything good

“The Man Who Thinks He Can”
“If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It is almost certain you won't.


If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.


If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.


Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!”

It Shows in Your Face
Author Unknown
You don't have to tell how you live each day
You don't have to say if you work or play
A tried true barometer serves in the place
However you live, it shows in your face.
The false, the deceit that you wear in your heart
Will not stay inside where it got its start;
For sinew and blood are a thin veil of lace,
However you live, it shows in your face.
If you have battled and won in the game of life,
If you feel you've conquered the sorrow and strife,
If you've played the game square and you stand on first base,
You don't need to tell it, it shows in your face.
If your life's been unselfish; if for others you live;
And not what you get but what you can give.
And you live close to God, in his infinite grace,
You don't have to tell it, it shows in your face.

The Man in the Glass
Dale Winbrow


When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass.
The fellow who's verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum
And think you're a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

As they voyage along through life;

And not the calm or the strife.

361. Your Commitment to Morality
Speaking to students at Brigham Young University in 2007, President Gordon B. Hinckley said:
“I observed a very interesting thing the other day. In Salt Lake City, early on a Saturday morning, the Key Bank building was brought down with a series of well-placed detonations. It all happened in three or four seconds, with a great cloud of dust that rolled to the northwest. The process is called an implosion, in contrast with an explosion.
“The building was constructed nearly 30 years ago. I suppose construction extended over a period of at least a year, maybe two. Now it was gone in seconds.
“That, my friends, is the story of so many lives. We nurture them ever so carefully over a period of years. Then we find ourselves in highly charged circumstances. Mistakes are made. Chastity is compromised. There is an implosion, and a ball of dust is all that is left.
“I was reminded of this when I recalled a young man and a young woman who came to my office. He was a handsome boy and she was a beautiful girl. They were university students. Their future looked bright and beautiful. But they gave into temptation. …
“Tears filled their eyes as they talked with me. But there was no escape from the reality that faced them. Their lives had suffered an implosion, and a tower of dreams had come tumbling down.
“Do not let this happen to you. Do not sell yourself short by compromising your commitment to morality.

364. The Sum of Your Thoughts by George Albert Smith

As a child, thirteen years of age, I went to school at the Brigham Young Academy. … I cannot remember much of what was said during the year that I was there, but there is one thing that I will probably never forget. … Dr. [Karl G.] Maeser one day stood up and said:

"Not only will you be held accountable for the things you do, but you will be held responsible for the very thoughts you think."

Being a boy, not in the habit of controlling my thoughts very much, it was quite a puzzle to me what I was to do, and it worried me. In fact, it stuck to me just like a burr. About a week or ten days after that it suddenly came to me what he meant. I could see the philosophy of it then. All at once there came to me this interpretation of what he had said: Why of course you will be held accountable for your thoughts, because when your life is completed in mortality, it will be the sum of your thoughts. That one suggestion has been a great blessing to me all my life, and it has enabled me upon many occasions to avoid thinking improperly, because I realize that I will be, when my life's labor is complete, the product of my thoughts.

375. “The Greatest Story Ever Told”
Shared by BobStarkey: Yesterday, while speaking to various teams at our team camp, I never fail to talk to them about the great power in the world -- the power they have to chose their attitude regardless of the circumstances.  We talk about how we all have this ability and when we discover it and then nurture  it, we can accomplish amazing things.  

I really love this passage from John Maxwell’s most recent book titled “No Limits:”

I started my journey across that bridge many years ago when my assistant Eileen Beavers gave me a book for Christmas.  When I saw the title, “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” I opened the book with great excitement, because I wanted to learn what it was about.  But all I saw were blank pages.  Inside was a note from Eileen that said, “John, your life is before you.  Fill these pages with kind acts, good thoughts, and matters of your heart.  Write a great story with your life.”
376. Hard Work-Practice-Persistence-Repetition: Kobe Bryant might go to the gym and spend two or three hours working on one move -- ONE MOVE!  

When Eastman ran into Kobe they talked about that and he asked Kobe, "How long do you work on a particular move?"

To which Kobe replied, "Until."

That's the mentality of a professional and a great player.  They don't get bored with the repetition of developing their skill.
They work "until."

377. Bill Walton and Repetition: Coach John Wooden was asked what made Bill Walton such a great player.

Coach Wooden replied, "He didn't get bored with the repetition that you need to be great.”

How many players are good but don't work at something long enough and hard enough to excel at it? "mastery."  The great ones didn't mind the constant repetition, because their goal was to master the parts of their game.
378. “REPETITION is a law of learning.” - Gordon B. Hinckley

381. “Life is a journey not a camp.” - Hugh B Brown
382. “True Greatness” - C.E. Flynn
A man is as great as the dreams he dreams, as great as the love he bears;
As great as the values he redeems,
and the happiness he shares.
A man is as great as the thoughts he thinks, as the worth he has attained;
As the fountains at which his spirit drinks, and the insight he has gained.
A man is as great as the truth he speaks, as great as the help he gives,
As great as the destiny he seeks,
as great as the life he lives.
383. “Try Try Again” - William Hickson
‘Tis a lesson you should heed–
          Try again;
If at first you don’t succeed,
           Try again.
Then your courage should appear;
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear,
           Try again.
Once or twice though you should fail,
If you would at last prevail,
           Try again.
If we strive, ’tis no disgrace
Though we did not win the race–
What should you do in that case?
           Try again.
If you find your task is hard.
           Try again;
Time will bring you your reward,
           Try again;
All that other folk can do,
Why with patience should not you?
Only keep this rule in view,
           Try again.

The Strangest Secret in the World

415. “The Race to Death” - By John Baker

Many thoughts race through my mind
As I step up to the starting line.
Butterflies thru my stomach fly,
And as I free that last deep sigh,
I feel that death is drawing near,
But the end of the race, I do not fear.
For when the string comes across my breast,
I know it’s time for eternal rest.
The gun goes off, the race is run,
And only God knows if I’ve won.
My family and friends and many more
Can’t understand what it was for.
But this “Race to Death” is a final test,
And I’m not afraid, for I’ve done my best.

(This poem was written by John Baker during his freshman year at the University of New Mexico, six years prior to his death).

To laugh often and much
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends

To find the best in others
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived
This is to have succeeded.

435. “When we survey our lives and endeavors we soon observe that almost the whole of our actions and desires are bound up with the existence of other human beings. We see that our whole nature resembles that of the social animals. We eat food that others have grown, wear clothes that others have made, live in houses that others have built. The greater part of our knowledge and beliefs has been communicated to us by other people through the medium of a language which others have created. Without language our mental capacities would be poor indeed, comparable to those of the higher animals; we have, therefore, to admit that we owe our principal advantage over the beasts to the fact of living in human society. The individual, if left alone from birth would remain primitive and beast-like in his thoughts and feelings to a degree that we can hardly conceive. The individual is what he is and has the significance that he has not so much in virtue of his individuality, but rather as a member of a great human society, which directs his material and spiritual existence from the cradle to the grave.” - Albert Einstein
