Tex Winters is the assistant coach for the Lakers. He is the mind behind the triangle offense that Phil Jackson has run with the Bulls and the Lakers. Here is a quote from Phil Jackson's book The Last Season from Tex Winters that I thought was pretty amazing:
"Tex (Winter), who is definitely no Buddhist, has a saying that I've grown to love: 'You are only a success at the moment that you do a successful act.' You can't be a success the next moment because you have already moved onto something else, even if it's accepting an award for the successful moment that just passed. That is why I've always told my players the glorification comes from the journey, not the outcome."
