Motivation - Michael Jordan - Failure is the foundation of success

American basketball star Michael Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. Jordan is the absolute pure example of failure and its correlation with success. When Michael was 15year of age, he was cut from his basket ball team. His coach told his that he couldn't play ball. After receiving such harsh comments Michael went home, locked himself in his room and cried him self to sleep. A few years later he was playing for the Chicago bulls in the world famous National Basketball league of America a.k.a the NBA. 

Reenforcing the backbone of his success, Michael had experienced detrimental failure, he for a lack of a better word "Sucked" this made Jordan recognise his failures and work on them tireless, he became such a professionalise at crafting his blunders that Jordan has been well known from his slam dunking from the Free throw line, a renound talent. He is also Sponsored by Nike, with his own sub brand Jordan. this is a fantastic example of don't let anyone tell you you can not do something, if your fat, skinny or extremely obese you have identified your weaknesses and you can amend them and SUCCEED like Michael Jordan did. 

IN ORDER TO SUCCEED WE MUST FAIL FIRST, IDENTIFY AND ATTACK. MR MICHAEL JORDAN HAS EXEMPLIFIED THIS IMMENSELY. 

Some of Michael's most famous quotes are

- 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.
