John Wooden, an American basketball player and head coach at UCLA, gives us today’s Thursday Thought quote–an idea he lived by for his almost 100 years of life.

Get new sneakers for Christmas? Don’t toss out your old ones. Donate outgrown but good ones by going to www.shoe4africa.org or to http://oneworldrunning.blogspot.com. Nike even takes those disgusting ones (any brand) and makes Nike Grind, used for surfacing basketball courts and running tracks. Drop them off at the Gilroy Outlets (408-847-4300) or contact Nike for other locations near you.
