Whether you are doing Home Loans or any other business, American Icon Coach John Wooden has left us with some cornerstones to success and inspirations:

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.

Never mistake activity for achievement.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Be prepared and be honest.

Be quick, but don't hurry.

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.

If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over?

Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

John Wooden was the finest basketball coach ever. And a fine human being as well. Many years ago I wrote him a letter. Don't even remember the subject now. One day, lo and behold, arrives a fat envelope from UCLA. From Coach Wooden. Personally! A letter, along with an autographed copy of his book "They Call Me Coach". Even to this day, whenever I recall that moment, like right now, my eyes water a little.
