> Michael Jordan
> When I met Michael Jordan, I asked him what he thought set him apart from
> other players, 
> 
> What it was that had advanced him time and time again to personal team
> victories.  
> 
> What made him the best?
> 
> Was it God given talent ?
> 
> Was it skill? 
> 
> Was it strategy ?.
> 
> Michael told me,"Many people have God given talent, and I am certainly one
> of them.But what has set me apart throughout my entire life is that you
> will never find anyone more competitive than I am.I will not settle for
> second in anything".
> 
> One of the turning point occurred when Michael was in tenth grade,after a
> temporary defeat spurred him to strive for a huge goal.You see, what most
> people don't know is that Michael Air Jordan,Mr.All State,All American,All
> -NBA one of the greatest basket ball players of all time,the legend who
> changed the game forever - did not even make his high school varsity
> basket ball team.
> 
> On the day Michael was cut from the Laney High School Buccaneers, he went
> home and cried the rest of the afternoon.It would have been easy to give
> up after that huge disappointment.But instead, he turned this painful
> experience into a burning desire; he set a higher standard, an even
> greater goal for himself.He made a real and powerful decision - one that
> would shape his destiny of the sport.He determined he would not only make
> the team but also be the best player on the court.
> 
> To achieve this ambitious goal, he did what every other successful man or
> woman does; he set a goal then took immediate and massive action.During
> the summer before his junior year, he sought the help of the team's coach,
> Clifton Herring and every morning at 6am Coach Herring drove Michael to
> the court and put him through intensive drills. At the same time the
> budding basket ball player grew 6ft 2 inches. In fact,Michaels desire to
> achieve his goal was so intense that he would hang on the monkey bars at
> school trying to elongate his body because he thought it would help him
> make the team.
> 
> Michael practiced every day and when the time came, he was chosen to play
> for the Varsity team. He proved a point that his Chicago bulls coach Doug
> Collins would make about him more than a decade later.
> 
> "The Harder you prepare,the luckier you seem to get".
> 
> Some people are afraid to set goals because they think that they will be
> disappointed or fail.What they don't realize is that achieving the goal is
> not half as important as setting it, then taking massive action toward its
> attainment.
> 
> The reason we set goals is to give our lives focus and to move us in the
> direction we would like to go.
