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. Continue after the cut...
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.
I hope you get to learn one or two things from this story. Failure is failure until you choose not to try again.
