Most people know who Michael Jordan is: former American professional basketball player, certainly one of the greatest players of all time.
It takes a very special person to become the greatest in anything they endeavor to accomplish, so today we want to share with you 10 success lessons from Michael Jordan (5 tips now, 5 tips later).
1. Make It Happen
"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen."
In order to succeed, you're going to have to kick down the door and make it happen on purpose. You're not going to "luck up" and succeed, success won't come with the passage of time. If you're going to succeed, you're going to have to roll up your sleeves, put your head down, and make it happen at all costs.
2. Passion
"Even when I'm old and gray, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game."
You must have passion in order to succeed. If success is to be yours, it will be yours while you are following your passion. You won't succeed doing something you despise, you won't even succeed doing something that you like doing; you will succeed when you do what you love, what you're passionate about.
3. Try
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."
How can you succeed if you never try? How can you go to your grave knowing that you never tried? You may not know what paths will work best for you. The only way to discover the right path is to try. Try and try, until you discover your difference. Try until you learn where you can be a success.
4. Work
"I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find what it feels like to sweat."
If success is to be yours, you can rest assured that you're going to have to work at it. To be the best you have to give your best. You have to work harder than the rest. While people are resting you have to be working. Success is a game -- you have to play hard, you have to out-smart the competition, you have to put in the work. Jordan said, "I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come."
5. Fail
"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."
Never fear failure; fear not trying, fear not giving your best, fear losing focus, but never fear failure. Failure is the path to success. Failure is the sign that you're headed in the right direction.
To succeed twice as fast, fail twice as much. Fail often, fail daily, and soon you will succeed. Jordan said, "I've never been afraid to fail."
