More quotes by Magic Johnson
The looks, the stares, the giggles . . . I wanted to show everybody that I could do better and also that I could read.
Magic Johnson
Just celebrate the life you had, not the life you could've had.
Magic Johnson
Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later, they didn't know. So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.
Magic Johnson
We are a company that lives and breathes a philosophy that's centered on not only making sound business decisions but also personally and professionally finding ways to contribute to the well being of society. We are also a company that understands community.
Magic Johnson
A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom. Just like right now with the whole mortgage crisis, I want to help people get back into their homes.
Magic Johnson
I was able to see what I wanted to do, I could see the opportunity, even when others could not, and I stay committed to doing it and doing it well, no matter what.

You know I was a shy guy and people didn't know that and still don't know it today. I'm sure basketball brought my shyness out because of the fact that you have to do interviews, and that people are always talking to you in terms of the fans and everything.
Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson
My father was a great example of a strong and good man and Christian man, and my mother taught all my six sisters how to be young ladies and mothers and how to take care of your family. And so I think they were - they still are - great examples for all of us to their kids and to the world, too.
Magic Johnson
There's Michael [Jordan], then there's the rest of us.
Magic Johnson
I am a businessman. This is what I do each and every day. I love it. I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.
Magic Johnson
WE all have to play as a team to make the world a better place
Magic Johnson
If you're a competitive person, that stays with you. You don't stop. You always look over your shoulder.
Magic Johnson
I only know how to play two ways: reckless and abandon.
Magic Johnson
When you are a successful business person, you are only as good as your team. No one can do every deal alone.
Magic Johnson
If you want someone to be your mentor, you better be ready to listen and be humbled.
Magic Johnson
I'm from there. You know, when you grow up with these people and see them every day and then you look at the numbers... it was easy it was a no-brainer. And when Sony took a look, it was a no-brainer to them, too.
Magic Johnson
Even when I went to the playground, I never picked the best players. I picked guys with less talent, but who were willing to work hard and had the desire to be great.
Magic Johnson
HIV changed my life, but it doesn't keep me from living.
Magic Johnson
If you want to be successful, you have to be willing to use every connection you’ve got.
