“I can
accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” ~
Michael Jordan.
How can I
talk about motivation and not mention Michael Jordan? Jordan suffered his first
set-back in his sophomore year when he was left out of the varsity basketball
team. Reason? He was only 5’9” at that time. His taller classmate Leroy Smith
had won the last spot on the team.
He made
up his mind that he would never have to face a similar situation ever again and
started practicing every day after that, making it a point to take out time for
his practice daily without fail. He soon shot up to 6’3”, made the team the
next year and never had to look back after that.
From
being a part of two gold-medal winning teams at the Olympics to winning NBA’s
Most Valuable Player Award five times in his career, Jordan dominated the
sports field for more than a decade in the ‘90s.
