Examples of celebrities whose positive attitude determines success: Michael Jordan

He is a black man and was born on February 17, 1963 in the slums of Brooklyn, New York. He has two brothers, one sister, and one younger sister. His father's meager salary cannot support the family at all. He has lived in poverty and discrimination since childhood. He saw little hope for the future. When he had nothing to do, he would squat under the low eaves and watch the sunset on the distant mountains silently, silent and depressed.

When he was 13 years old, one day, his father suddenly handed him an old dress: "How much is this dress worth?" "About 1 dollar." He answered. "Can you sell it for two dollars?" The father looked at him inquiringly. "Only a fool would buy it!" he said angrily.

The father's eyes were sincere and full of desire: "Why don't you give it a try? You know, life at home is not easy. If you sell, you will help me and your mother." ."

He nodded: "I can give it a try, but I may not be able to sell it."

He washed the clothes carefully without ironing them. He used a brush to smooth the clothes and spread them on a flat plate to dry in the shade. The next day, he took the dress to a crowded subway station. After more than 6 hours of hawking, he finally sold the dress.

He clutched the two dollars tightly and ran all the way home. From then on, he was keen on finding old clothes from the garbage dump every day, cleaning them up, and selling them in the busy market.

I just want to tell you that a used piece of clothing is only worth a dollar. We all have ways to become noble, let alone us living people? What reason do we have to lose confidence in life? We are just a little darker and a little poorer, but what does it matter?"

At this moment, a brilliant sun rose in his heart, illuminating his whole body and the world in front of him. "Even an old piece of clothing is noble, so why should I belittle myself?"

From then on, he began to study hard and exercise rigorously, always full of hope for the future! 20 years later, his name spread to every corner of the world - Michael. Jordan!
