Through the “eyes” of Michael Jordan

Brought to you by: www.dream-it-plan-it-do-it.com

• Although he had the talent as an athlete and basketball player, his biggest

assets probably have been his attitude and the will to succeed, being

aggressive and never giving up, irrespective of the circumstances and

challenges he was facing.

LESSONS:

• He is a very versatile person, being a professional basketball player, Olympic

athlete, businessperson and actor.

• This attitude helped him

in the other enterprises

that he has developed.

This attitude is very clear

in the words of wisdom

from him that will follow.

• The NBA considered him as the

greatest basketball player of all time.

He received many accolades for his

achievements, not only as a player but

also for his contribution to popularise

the game.

WORDS OF WISDOM:

• “I can accept

failure, everyone

fails at something.

But I can't accept

not trying.”

• “My competitive

nature is I want to

succeed.”

• “It's always been

said that when I

can't find a way

to do anything, I

will find a way to

do it."

• "You have to expect things of yourself

before you can do them.”

• “I can accept failure, everyone fails at

something. But I can't accept not

trying.”

• “Some people want it to happen, some

wish it would happen, and others

make it happen.”

• “You must expect great things of

yourself before you can do them.”

• “Don’t let them drag you down by

rumours just go with what you

believe in.”

• “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.”
