assets probably have been his attitude and the will to succeed, being
aggressive and never giving up, irrespective of the circumstances and
challenges he was facing.
LESSONS:
• He is a very versatile person, being a professional basketball player, Olympic
athlete, businessperson and actor.

in the other enterprises
that he has developed.
This attitude is very clear
in the words of wisdom
from him that will follow.
• The NBA considered him as the
greatest basketball player of all time.
He received many accolades for his
achievements, not only as a player but
also for his contribution to popularise
the game.

5. WORDS OF WISDOM:
• “I can accept
failure, everyone
fails at something.
But I can't accept
not trying.”
• “My competitive
nature is I want to
succeed.”
• “It's always been
said that when I
can't find a way
to do anything, I
will find a way to
do it."

6. • "You have to expect things of yourself
before you can do them.”
• “I can accept failure, everyone fails at
something. But I can't accept not
trying.”
• “Some people want it to happen, some
wish it would happen, and others
make it happen.”

7. • “You must expect great things of
yourself before you can do them.”
• “Don’t let them drag you down by
rumours just go with what you
believe in.”
• “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.”
