Never stop Trying
The Parallel between business success and sports achievement has been noted by many athletes, coaches, and managers.Michael Jordan, one of the greatest athletes of our time, tells how the work ethic he uses in his basketball game is the key to success in any endeavor. In his words:I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can not accept not trying. It does not matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart and work at it 110 percent. if you put in the work, the results will come. I can not do things halfheartedly. Because i know if i do, then i can expect halfhearted results. That's why i approach practices the same way i approach games. You can't turn it on and off like a faucet. I can't dog it during practice and then, when i need that extra push late in the game, expect it to be there. You have to stick to your plan. A lot of people try to pull you down to their level because they can't achieve certain things. But very few people get anywhere by taking shortcuts.More people gain success the honest way, by setting their goals and committing themselves to achieving those goals.Our society tends to glamorize individual levels of success without taking the entire process into consideration. What if you have a CEO with a great idea, but he doesn't have the people to make it happen. If you don't have all the pieces in place, particularly at the front lines, that idea doesn't mean a thing. You can have the greatest salespeople in the world, but if the people making the product aren't any good, no one will buy it. Managers, like coaches, have to find ways to utilize individual talents in the best interests of the company. It's a selfless process. In our society sometimes it's hard to come to grips with filling a role instead of trying to be a superstar. We tend to ignore or fail to respect all the parts that make the whole thing possible. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships. Fundamentals are crucial. Everything i achieved can be traced back to the way i approach and applied the fundamentals, the basic building blocks or principles that make everything work. I don't care what you're doing, you can't skip fundamentals if you want to be the best. But some guys don't want to deal with that. they're looking for instant gratification, so maybe they skip a few steps. they're so focused on composing a masterpieces that they never master the scales, You can get away with it through the early stages, but it's going to catch up with you eventually. The minutes you get away from fundamentals, whether it's proper technique, work ethic, or mental preparation, the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you're doing. When you understand the building blocks, you begin to see how the entire operation works.And that allows you to operate more intelligently, whether it's in school business, or even family. It sounds easy, but it isn't. You have to monitor your fundamentals constantly because the only thing that changes will be your attention to them. the fundamentals will never change.There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. Get the fundamentals down and the level of every thing you do will rise.
WHAT MICHAEL JORDAN TAUGHT US
Desire to win is not enough. you must apply all your efforts;
Put everything into whatever you do
If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Fundamentals crucial. the basic building blocks or principles are the thing that make everything work. No matter what you are ant skip doing, you cant skip fundamentals if you want to be the best.
