YOU WON'T BELIEVE how many shoots 🏀MICHAEL JORDAN missed in his career⛹‍♂.

Michael Jeffrey Jordan is a former professional American basketball player, Olympic athlete, businessperson and actor. Considered one of the best basketball players ever, he dominated the sport from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s.

Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six National Basketball Association championships and earned the NBA's Most Valuable Player Award five times. With five regular-season MVPs and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan became the most decorated player in the NBA.

Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in Wilmington, North Carolina, Michael developed a competitive edge at an early age. He wanted to win every game he played.

Michael grew up with a stable family life. His mother, Delores, was a bank teller who has since written several books. His father, James, was a maintenance worker turned manager at General Electric. Jordan had four siblings: Larry, Deloris, Roslyn and James Jr.

M.J. began his professional basketball career when he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984. He was the third overall pick, behind Hakeem Olajuwon, who was selected first by the Houston Rockets, and Sam Bowie, taken by the Portland Trail Blazers; the draft also featured legendary players John Stockton and Charles Barkley.

Jordan soon proved himself on the court. He helped the team make the playoffs and scored an average of 28.2 points per game that season. For his efforts, Jordan received the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and was selected for the All-Star Game.

While his second season was marred by injury, he was breaking new ground on the court during the 1986-87 season. He became the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to score more than 3,000 points in a single season.

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life.

In his long history as a player, he holds 14 MVP (Most Valuable Player) awards: 5 in the regular season, 6 in finals and 3 in All-Star games.

Michael Jordan has 6 rings with the Chicago Bulls in his career, with an average of 30.1 points per game, the highest in all NBA history.

Michael Jordan achieved with the United States national team 2 Olympic gold medals: in 1984 in Los Angeles and in 1992 in Barcelona.

In 2001, Michael Jordan returned to the courts for the second time and signed with the Washington Wizards (at the rate of $ 1 million per season). Shortly after the sad tragedy of September 11 occurred, and the legendary player donated the full salary of a year to help children who lost their parents in the attack.

Michael teaches us that failure is part of success in life. He had to miss more than 9,000 shots in his career to become the most famous basketball player of all time. His good nose in business has made him one of the richest men on the planet, with a fortune of 2.1 billion dollars according to the Forbes company in 2020.

Without a CLEAR OBJECTIVE 🏆 you are NOT GOING ANYWHERE, define it ASAP! ✍ with this 5 QUESTIONS YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF.

Being younger I would have liked to know the importance of defining life goals to start drawing one or more plans. Although I have really fulfilled many of the goals that I have set for myself, I still have the need to continue learning and working to achieve new goals that I set for myself every time I achieve the previous ones.

If you also have a winning mentality that demands more and more, I recommend you continue reading, since in this post I am going to tell you how you can define your plan in a clean and effective way.

1. Define what you want or where you want to go.
The first step on this list is to analyze through deep meditation, which can even be several days thinking about the same thing, what do I want? What would I really like to have, be or have achieved? Aspects that can be as obvious as graduating from some institution, be it high school, university or some other language course you are taking can be a good example of goal definition. Buying a house, taking a trip to some spectacular destination, winning the soccer tournament I participate in, raising a family, supporting my children to graduate from university. There are infinite objectives that you can set in life, some may be material or perhaps spiritual, the important thing is that you stop for a moment in your life and define all the things that are important to you and that you would like to fulfill.

2.How can I get what I want?
Is there a secret formula to achieve success? the answer is, there are many. but it is up to the individual to make it work. If you really want to do something, you will need to work hard to get it. Write what you want and make a plan, then put it into action and fail as many times as necessary. Sometimes it will be necessary to change the plan, but don't forget your goal. Go ahead and learn to get up when you fall.

3. What resources do I need?
Life provides us with a resource that is not always the best, we can see that the neighbor has more support from his family or a more stable economy and we are discouraged because we did not have this luck or we can see it as a motivation to achieve our goals. I have always thought that maybe life is not fair, but that the opportunities are there for those who really look for them. If you really want something, go for it no matter what people say. You have only one life and it is not worth living in fear.

4. It is important to stop thinking about it and start doing it.
Don't waste too much time thinking about how to do things, start doing small tests and making mistakes as many times as necessary. Learn from your mistakes so as not to repeat them and at the end of the road you will become that teacher that we all want to be, but few of us are willing to go through that long period of learning.

5. Consistency is the key to success.
It is easy to see successful people and say that they were lucky or that they already had the talent to achieve the success they obtained, but the reality is that most successful people have gone through things that are not easy, but they have understood that being constant and Improving yourself every day is the key to achieving the complex objectives that have been set.

2020 MOTIVATION for STUDENTS 👩‍💻 👨‍💻. LEARN 7 steps to STUDY HARD and BECOME SUCCESSFUL.

When I was in school I found 200 reasons to distract myself every time I decided to study. Especially when I needed to do it the most.

Sometimes, when your mind is not in the mood, it may be difficult to find the right moment or motivation to sit down to study for that difficult exam, or to advance in that final project that has you worried but still you cannot finish.

That is why I wrote this post with some tips that help me move forward in my activities and complete all those earrings that do not allow me to be calm.

Among other things I use this list when I feel lost:

1. The first step is to organize your tasks.
Make a list of all the activities you want to complete and order them from highest to lowest priority. You will notice that many of the tasks you must do will not take more than 5 minutes. You can start by doing some of those tasks. So, at the end you will feel that you can complete something bigger.

2. Dedicate yourself to one thing at a time(Avoid multi-tasking).
Many times we want to do so many things at the same time that we feel that we are not advancing in any and we start to get frustrated. Something simple but effective is to dedicate ourselves exclusively to one task until completing it, and then move on to the next one. You will see how the list decreases faster than trying to do several things at once.

3. Music
Doing our chores in silence helps, but I am a faithful believer that if your mind is listening to music of your liking with a moderate volume, it can think faster and motivate you to finish that task that you have started. It is about making that situation that requires attention and creativity a little more pleasant. A good playlist can help you complete tasks in less time.

4. Order
Working in an orderly place will always be of great help when studying or completing a task. If your desk is messed up it will be difficult for you to concentrate if you have to move food dishes or suction cups to accommodate your book or computer. I know we have all been through this situation, but definitely my advice is that before studying, you order the place where you will. Think that it is your temple of learning and that you will learn more and better by working orderly.

5. Find your learning method.
We all have ways of learning in which we feel more comfortable. Reading, watching videos, attending classes with more students, or simply listening to a podcast can be very useful tools when learning, but you must be aware that each person is different and therefore can have different results than you do find the proper way to study. You must try several methods and find yours. This does not limit that you can have several but you should definitely focus on those that most potentiate your learning.

6. Work on improving your mind.
Many people have the false concept that their ability to remember things is limited and that they cannot do anything about it. There are many exercises or games you can do to increase your mind by a few gigabytes and remember important information such as phone numbers, data, characters or even formulas that will come in your next exam. You can rely on Mnemonics that will help you remember information.

7. Finally, finish that damn task!
You need to give an extra if you want that task to be completed before the due date. To finish a career or a course, you must strive to the degree that you probably spend sleepless nights. In my case I was 3 days in which I only slept 4 hours a day to be able to finish my final project. I arrived at the presentation without having slept practically anything and with difficulty keeping awake, but once the engineers saw the project and approved me, it was one of the greatest satisfactions I could have had. The following days were of recovery and it was totally worth it. If you take responsibility for your work, you will see that you can please it at any cost.

This is HOW BILL GATES THINKS 💻, according to his BEST QUOTES and ideas💰.

Recently I was reading about one of the richest mans of the world, and one of who we may learn a lot.

I'm talking about Bill Gates.

Since I was a child, I found technology as something pretty amazing. It's a world that everybody must know at least at its basics.

I think B. G. is one of the most important people in the technology environment. Without his work and ideas the world may not have technological advantages that have now.

That's why I decided to write a little bit about some of his most interesting ideas and quotes, to share part of his knowledge with you.

This is a list of 10 topics with his best quotes and ideas, take a sit at your favorite place and enjoy:

1. Addiction to technology.

- For me, it's better if a guy is addicted to his personal computer than if he is to T.V. At least his mind is taking decisions (1986).

2. About Apple (His competitor).

- To create a new standard, it is required something which is not only a bit different; it needs to be something really new and that gets people attention. The Macintosh is the only computer that have all this requisites (1984).

3. The clients in business.

- Your most unhappy clients, are the most important source of learning (1999).

- Something that is rarely commented, is that the software business sells much more to other businesses than to consumers (2008).

4. Capitalism

- People underestimate how effective capitalism is in keeping even the most successful companies on the brink (2001).

- Capitalism is great and it causes thousands of things to take place in parallel. And many of these fail. Some are just mediocre. But the special ones can grow and, you know, surprise everyone (2009).

5. Childhood.

- I tried to be normal as much as I could (1992).

- I actually had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think it was because I had the opportunity to read a lot (2008).

6. China.

-About three million computers are sold in China a year, but people don't pay for the software. Someday they will. And if they plan to steal it, we want them to steal ours. Let's say that somehow they will become addicted to it and we will already manage to collect what corresponds to us in the next decade (1998).

- It is exciting to witness what is happening in China. It is excellent for us. If we could choose between making all the Chinese as wealthy as we are or being as poor as they were in 1979, we would certainly choose to make them consumers and inventors, as we are. They are very far from it but they constitute a population large enough to incubate large things inside (2009).

7. University education

- I am concerned to hear that there are young people who do not want to go to university due to the fact that I did not graduate. Let's be clear: I got a very good education even though I didn't stay long enough to graduate. Plus, every year, making college education as important today as high school was once (1996).

8. Computers vs People.

- Computers are wonderful because when you work with them, you get immediate results that allows you to know whether your program works or not. It's a feedback you don't get from many other things (1995).

9. Leave Harvard.

- We realized that things were starting to happen, and the simple fact of having had a vision of where this chip should go and what it could mean, did not imply that the industry would wait for me until I finished my studies at Harvard (1996).

10. The old times. 

- We weren't even governed by the 24-hour clock: Four or five of us came and programmed for two days in a row. When it was time to eat, we got in our cars, ran to a restaurant and sat down to talk about what we were doing. Sometimes I get excited talking about things and forget to eat. Then we would go back and code more. It was about something between friends, those were fun days (1996).

- For us, life consisted of working and perhaps going to the cinema to return to work a little more. Sometimes clients came and we were so tired that we fell asleep in front of them. Or I would lie on the floor in an internal meeting, I like to do that during brainstorming. And then I fell asleep (1995).

-We made contests to see who can stay at build three or four days in a row. Some sensible people told us: "Go home and take a shower" (1999).

- I was responsible for making things move. I was the guy who said, "Let's call the real world and try to sell it something" (1992).
