Quotes from Michael Jordan

Once you join the team, you live at a certain standard that I play the game and I wasn't going to take anything less. When people see this, they gonna say, He wasn't really a nice guy. He may have been a tyrant. Well, that's you, because you never won anything. I wanted to win, but I wanted them to win and be a part of it as well.

My mentality was to go out and win, at any cost. If you don't want to live that regimented mentality, then you don't need to be alongside of me. Coz I'm gonna ridicule you until you get on the same level with me, and if you don't get on the same level, then it's gonna be hell for you.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

I won't have any competitive instincts in any sports, other than golf. I can't see being competitive in sports any more.

If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life.

I hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.

Failure builds muscle, determination, and dreams.
