Failing Forward: Michael Jordan's Journey

Michael Jordan got cut from his high school varsity basketball team. That rejection became

his fuel. While his peers celebrated making the roster, Jordan spent every

morning practicing alone in the gym at six AM. He turned that pain into relentless

work ethic. Years later, after winning six NBA championships, he said missing

over nine thousand shots in his career made him succeed. Every failure was data.

Every setback was setup. Jordan proved that getting knocked down matters less

than how fast you get back up. Your current rejection is not your final destination.

It is your starting line. The people who win are not the ones who never fail.
