The other MJ, the Man, the God who wore 23 on his back. I have been listening and searching for inspirational words of wisdom recently on Youtube. Amongst others such as Muhammad Ali, Will Smith and P Diddy, Michael Jordan stood out more perhaps because he has retreated from public exposure the last couple of years. The passion, drive and the innate belief that he held in himself are really admirable and really pump me up to move forward rather than look back. What made him so powerful in my eyes was how he combined his talent with an insane work ethic clearly observed when he played baseball in the Minor leagues for awhile where he was often first to arrive and last to leave. I encourage all of you to hit up Youtube and finding words of wisdom from your heros. Here is a quote from the man himself doing one of his famous Nike ads, Alpha and Out.
"Maybe its my fault that you didn't see that failure gave me strength, that my pain was my motivation,"
