Michael Jeffrey Jordan is a former American basketball player. He is widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time. He won six NBA championships and led the Bulls to a record 72 wins in the 1995-96 NBA Season. He won two Olympic gold medals with Team USA, famously playing on the 1992 Dream Team. Here are some of his sayings: Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. If you quit once it becomes a habit. Never quit! Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation. To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail. Don't let them drag you down by rumours, just go with what you believe in. If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life. Failure is acceptable. But not trying is a whole different ball park. You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them. Never look at the consequences of missing a big shot… When you think about the consequences you will always think of the negative result. If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.
