Danh ngôn của Michael Jordan (Sứ mệnh: 5)

The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
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.
As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day.
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But 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.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.
My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.
I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
I'm patient.
I wasn't really a work-conscious type of person. I was a player. I loved to play sports.
My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'
In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people, to travel and expand my financial capabilities, to get ideas and learn about life, to create a world apart from basketball.
The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.
I hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.
Limits, like fear, is often an illusion.
When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.
In any investment, you expect to have fun and make money.
I can't speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.
When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game.
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.
Gambling is legal and betting is legal, for what I bet.
My challenge when I came back was to face the young talent, dissect their games, and show them maybe that they needed to learn more about the game than just the money aspect.
I won't have any competitive instincts in any sports, other than golf. I can't see being competitive in sports any more.
