I set another goal, a reasonable, manageable goal that I could realistically achieve if I worked hard enough. I approached everything step by step.
Michael Jordan

I viewed it as a business, but I always viewed it as a game. An opportunity to show my skills, my basketball skills, amongst the best in the world.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

I never feared about my skills because I put in the work. Work ethic eliminates fear. So if you put forth the work, what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not.
Michael Jordan
Image
If you don't back it up with performance and hard work, talking doesn't mean a thing.

Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.
Michael Jordan
