Michael Jordan-Why I love Michael Jordan!

"By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time!"- National Basketball Association

After what has seemed like a week in hedes! I went to the internet for inspiration. One of my favorite people in the whole wide world is Michael J. Jordan!

I remember growing up as a little Kid in Kenya watching this legend and thinking to myself how awesome his life must be! My second thought was, I wonder if I will ever see him play?

Then of course as Micheal Jordans timeline would become, he retired! So I figured, oh well, at least I got to watch him on TV!

Little did I know that one day, I would get to watch this legend play! It wasn't with the glorious Chicago Bulls, but I did get to seem play against the Mighty Utah Jazz.

I was lucky enough to have good friends that were fans of basketball like I was and they were season ticket holders. I got to see the venerable Michael Jordan play as a member of the Washington Wizards!

Yes this little girl from Kenya had crossed seeing Micahel Jordan play off her list of accomplishment. To it she has added MEET MICHAEL JORDAN!

Hey I learned from the best, always exceed your expectations. What kind of fan would I be if I didn't shoot for the stars (ha ha pun intended)

"When I first started this long road to basketball, what consumed me was being the best player I could be." Michael Jordan

Napoleon Hill Indicate the 4 Steps necessary for success:

1. A definite purpose backed by a burning desire for its fulfillment.

2. A definite plan, expressed in continuous action

3. A mind closed tightly against all negative and discoraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances.

4. A friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow trough with both plan and purpose.

Now my secrets out! This what I do when I am down, I get inspired by greatness. I refuse to give into disppointment. I look to those who have gone before me because I know that it is only a matter of time. Once you reach breaking point, then you get to break through and oh what a wonderful view is to be had.

Many of us are happy to settle for mediocrity and that is what we get in return. What to be great, get into action and do not stop until you hold in your hand that which you desire!

What I didn't know in my youth was the true story of Michael Jordans' rise to success! You see I didn't know that he cut from the basket ball team junior year.

I didn't know that he was told that he could never lead the team to a championship. To me he had always been a star! After all that is what the media portrayed and wanted us to see.

It reminds me a lot of many of the business ventures that people get involved in. We talk of Bill Gates and his billions, but no one ever speaks of his slow, steady and ardous rise to said riches!

We live in a world that rewards only success, but fails to realize that true success comes in the process of becoming, a feat which Michael Jordan has done well to show case!

Napoleon Hill, author of the famed Think and Grow Rich asserts, "no more effort is requited to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, that is required to accept misery and poverty!"

I bargained with Life for a penny,

As a Consultant, I get many calls. Common stories run like this, oh I have been scammed. I have tried such and such business and failed. What can you tell me to help me succeed. I have no money. The color of my skin is a barrier, I have an accent, I am not tall enough, the sun sets way too early here!

Ok I am being a facetious! Bottom line, many people, myself included are deluded by the idea that with little or no effort, minimal investment of time that we can overnight be possessors of great riches!

What I love about Michael Jordan is he proved that success is
