It's Wednesday and it's time for some wit and wisdom.
This week's wise words come from NBA Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson.
In his best-selling book, Sacred Hoops, Jackson said he learned three lessons from his 20s that made him one of the greatest leaders in the history of sports.
in 1967, long before he won 11 NBA titles, coaching Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Jackson was a second-round pick for the New York Knicks.
When he landed in New York, he learned one lesson quickly.
Don't let anger or heavy rocks thrown from overpasses cloud the mind.
His coach Red Holtzman and his wife Selma picked Jackson up from the airport.
While driving on the highway, someone threw a giant rock through their windshield.
Holtzman got angry, but he put first things first.
His wife and a rookie were in the car.
No one was hurt.
So he gained his composure and told Jackson, if you can take that, you'll do just fine here.
What do you think and how do you handle the unexpected?
