Michael Jordan Trying Quotations

My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'

I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . . Failure always made me try harder next time.

Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

I was aware of my success, but I never stopped trying to get better,

You have to be able to say, OK, that happened back then. Now let's take it from here and see what happens. It would be very easy to hate people for the rest of your life, and some people have done that. You've got to deal with what's happening now and try to make things better.

Isn't (life) all about trying?

Failure is acceptable. but not trying is a whole different ball park.

If it turns out that my best wasn't good enough, at least I won't look back and say that I was afraid to try; failure makes me work even harder.
