1. The things I find interesting are the stories that Coach Krzyzewski shares throughout the book. For example one about a basketball game against Clemson where one of his players was injured. He was worried about the player but he couldn't act like what he called a "concerned parent", he had to be a leader. He had to call the plays that would make sure none of his other players would get hurt but make sure they still play hard and win.
2. Some traits that the leader of my book has talked about being important are communication, trust, responsibility, pride, and caring. He says that each one separately is important but all of them together are "unbeatable"
3. "Well if you're always striving to achieve a success that is defined by someone else, I think you will always be frustrated." I think this quote is important because most people have a someone they look up to or whose goals they'd like to achieve or exceed. But if that is the only thing that you try for you will end up getting frustrated if you can't achieve that. So you should set your own lower goal to work towards that is more realistic and achievable.
4. There was a time that I was in a situation where there was going to be alcohol involved. I'm against drinking, so I wasn't comfortable with staying where these actions were taking place. Everyone wanted me to stay and have fun, but that was just against my morals so I had to leave. When I think back to it now, I had two options. I could have stayed back to keep my friends safe while they were drinking, or take myself completely out of the situation; and I took myself out of the situation.
