HIS AIRNESS - MICHAEL JORDAN

This guy is no doubt one of the greatest athletes of all time. This are some of the lessons I choose to learn from his life and times. His quotes in Italics


1. Make It Happen
“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”
2. Passion
“Even when I’m old and grey, I won’t be able to play it, but I’ll still love the game.”
3. Try
“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”
4. Work
“I’m not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.”
5. Fail
“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
6. Go Around
“If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
7. The Mind
“My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn’t stand the sideline.”
8. Perspective
“Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.”
9. Loyalty and Responsibility
“The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.”
10. Expectations
“You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.”
