Bo Menkiti’s 3 P’s of Success: Passion, Persistence, and People
– PASSION: You’ve got to love what you do. Passion is contagious; it gets other people excited. Passion gives you staying power to face life’s ups and downs.
– PERSISTENCE: The grit and tenacity that keeps you going. Learning is really about failure. How quickly can you get back up after getting hit?
– PEOPLE: Seek out and surround yourself with truly amazing individuals. People make life worth living and make things great.

Quote from the show:
– John Wooden: “Its the little details that are vital. Little things make the big things happen.”
