最重要的是,你必須讓身邊每一個人知道你是玩真的。我不是一個只是在這里來來去去的球員,我不是一個只會入選全明星賽一兩次而已的球員,我來這里,是要成為一個能夠跨時代的偉大球星,一旦我做了承諾,說「我想成為有史以來最偉大的」,那么這場比賽就成為了我的一切。
The most important thing is you must put everybody on notice that you’re here and you are for real. I’m not a player that is just going to come and go. I’m not a player that is going to make an All-Star team one time, two times. I’m here to be an all-time great. Once I made that commitment and said, ‘I want to be one of the greatest ever’, then the game became everything for me.
在心理過程的演化中,功能先于形式。
如果你沒有偶爾失敗,說明你不夠努力。
最終,我們記住的不是敵人的話語,而是朋友的沉默。
Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.
Structures should grow, not be imposed.
