Inspiring quotes from Michael Jordan
NBA and Slam Dunk
What would it be related to when you come across the word NBA or slam dunk?
Michael Jordan? Basketball? Or...
Well, I still remember those days…the peripheral products of NBA, slam dunk…somehow they seemed just that popular…but frankly speaking, I really wonder why…
How my inferiority began...
PE Teacher Refused Me To Play Basketball
Sad to tell you that I am not familiar with the basketball playing…
Well, more appropriately; I don’t know how to play basketball as my PE teacher who labeled me as “undersized” refused me to play the basketball as well as participated in any other sports when I was in my primary four...
I even being drawn out for being the school young inspector which I was supposed to be selected for the results I have successfully achieved...and the whole story of my inferiority began since then...
That’s the reason why the total life before my mid-thirty has never been participated in any sports and exercise until I realized I actually can do it well with my best…and I did realize the truth then that no one could ever label me except myself.
Relying On Quotes

In fact, I am quite relying on the quotes during those inferiority periods of mine; I firmly believed that when you could not find someone or anyone to inspire you in your circle of influence, that’s how and when the power of quotes plays its magic.

Frankly, I don’t know him much until his great and well-known personal motivation quotes caught my eyes; the attention was then paid to him so as to inspire up myself...
