Thoughts from Lou Holtz

Thoughts from Lou Holtz

Quotes
HERE are a few quotes from Lou Holtz's new autobiography. The application of the principles to your own situation or personal development is self-evident.

Choices Count: “When you accept the fact that you are in your present condition, good or bad, because of the choices you have made, you will then find yourself capable of changing your situation by making better choices.”

Respect: “What I didn't realize was that authority comes with the job: respect was what I needed to earn, and you earn respect only by proving yourself as a leader.”

Faith: “Before joining the Notre Dame family, I heard a lot about the spirit of Notre Dame, but I wasn't sure what that meant. The people were spiritual, and the leaders of the university were driven by the Holy Spirit, of that I had no doubt. But I wasn't convinced the campus itself held anything spiritual.

Lou Holtz
Then, in my first year, I made an interesting observation. I realized that if you don't believe in the omnipresent spirit of Notre Dame, you never feel it. I made up my mind that I was going to believe in this spirit. The moment I started believing, I started feeling it. And the feeling never left.”

Staffing: “I expected us to recruit attitude over athleticism, and an aptitude for hard work over natural ability.”

Personal Responsibility: “Before you start blaming others, look at yourself. You will find you must look no further for the cause of the problem.”
