"In my career, I have missed more than 9000 shots. I have lost nearly 300 games. Twenty-six times, I was trusted to throw a decisive ball, but I failed. I have failed again and again in my life. This is the reason for my success. "
Michael Jordan is a man who accepts setbacks and failures as motivation. In his sophomore year, he left the high school team and used it as a driving force to carry out high-intensity training. His work paid off. The next year, he joined the team, and in his senior year, he joined the national high school team.
Michael Jordan broke his foot in the 1985-86 season, but that didn't stop him. His team entered the playoffs without him, and even scored the most points in the playoffs (63 points) in the series against Boston Celtics. He fully recovered at the beginning of the 1986-87 season and became the second player to score 3000 points in a season!
Jordan developed amazing professional ethics and determination, which enabled him to thrive in the face of every adversity!
Expect to be great.
"I never thought about the consequences of missing an important person … when you think about the consequences, you always think of a negative result."
One of Michael's pet words is that in order to make magic happen, you must concentrate and prepare for it. This is extremely powerful; By focusing on the potential positive factors instead of failure, you will open the door to opportunities for success and achievement. This is exemplified by his famous saying, "Before you do something, you must expect something from yourself."
Focusing on the right things is one of the keys to accelerating your success. Looking for the positive side from an environment will make us happier, more efficient and more likely to succeed. By focusing on the potential positive factors and expecting great things, it inspires our bodies and minds to do what can make it happen. For many successful athletes and businessmen, strong self-confidence is the key to their success.
Don't be afraid of failure, embrace it.
"I am never afraid of failure."
In addition to using setbacks and failures as fuel and motivation, Michael chose to embrace failure itself instead of being afraid of it. This is a great ethos: if failure happens, it will happen. It is terrible only if it is treated as terrible. Jordan described fear as an "illusion" that he overcame. Fear of failure itself limits your potential success.
Michael said in an interview that he was not disappointed in his career. He said that some things were negative, but he always regarded them as positive, because it was a great learning experience. Without them, other great things would not happen.
Stick to the most basic
"Once you deviate from the basic principles-whether it is correct technology, professional ethics or psychological preparation-your games, studies and work, no matter what you are doing, may fall into a trough."
Michael said to stick to the basic principles and not get lost in the details. He always tries to find an advantage in what he does, and part of it is never to ignore the foundation.
Another famous saying of Jordan is, never try to skip anything basic: "If you try to take a shortcut in the game, the game will also let you take a shortcut." This message is great: if you try to cut corners or think you can't do something seemingly basic, you won't be rewarded. To succeed, everyone must adhere to certain basic principles, otherwise they will deviate from production habits and pay too much attention to unimportant things.
