Michael Jordan Quotes

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying

My mentality was to go out and win, at any cost. If you don't want to live that regimented mentality, then you don't need to be alongside of me. Coz I'm gonna ridicule you until you get on the same level with me, and if you don't get on the same level, then it's gonna be hell for you.

To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.

I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

If you quit ONCE it becomes a habit.Never quit!!!

What is love? Love is playing every game as if it's your last!

I've reached the pinnacle of my career. I just feel that I don't have anything else to prove. When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense of 'to prove something' as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game of basketball.

The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I'm out there, no one can bother me...

I don’t do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.

"I can handle failing, but I can't handle not trying".

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.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.

Once I made a decision, I never thought about it again.

Why would I think about missing a shot I haven't taken yet?

My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.
