Living Legend--Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan
When Michael Jordan's feet left the ground, time seemed to stand still. The player who became known as'' Air Jordan'' changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps. Jordan's skills were impressive, but the mental strength that he showed made him unique. In the final seconds of a game, Jordan always seemed to find a way to win. Jordan says that the secret to his success is learning from his failures. "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.'' Losing games taught him to practise harder and never give up. In life, Jordan has learnt to share his success with others. The Boys and Girls Club which he started In Chicago has been helping young people since 1996.
