Light the fire
In 1982 Jordan did not know what he really was doing until he won the championship with the university where he was studying and this inspired him, it was there where a flame was lit inside him that made him decide to be the best, made him decide that if he wanted to compete to excel, to improve, to be one of the best or become better, from that moment he knew that anybody would stop him.
Be different
Jordan always wanted to be different, he wanted to avoid being compared to other players, and although there were good players who motivated and inspired, he wanted to change that, he wanted to bring things to another level, and nowadays he sees those great players and for him, they are all great, but they are great in a unique way and that is what motivates him.
To have high expectations
Michael Jordan has never been satisfied with what he has achieved, he never feels that it is his “best moment” because in his mind he always thinks he has to improve, he seats goals to achieve; although he has succeeded, he thinks he has things to prove yet and not only as a player as also as a person, and as long as he believes that, his path to success will continue to expand.
Be positive
Sport for Jordan is like a tool that can teach us bad things and good things, it will depend on how every person perceives it; he has learned from every experience he has had, positive and negative, and always tries to see on the positive side at all, he would not change his past because that would alter other things that have happened to him. No one wants bad things to happen, but you have to learn to deal with them; when we make a mistake we must learn from this, as we explained in the previous article titled 7 rules of Roger Federer to achieve success
Being the one you were born to be
Jordan advises knowing where we go and always remember where we come from as it’s about having the courage when we fail, not giving up, taking everything we have given and creating something better, it’s about working before we get the glory, and keep in mind that we have to do what others say that we cannot do, as Jordan says “it’s not about shoes, it’s about what you did with them; be who you were born to be”.
