Michael Jordan Life !
Michael Jordan was born in 1963 in the slums of Brooklyn. Father used to work as a labourer. Michael Jordan's childhood was spent in an environment full of poverty and discrimination.
When Michael Jordan was 13 years old. So his father gave him an old T-shirt and asked, “What will this T-shirt cost?”
Jordan replied, “Maybe $1.”
The father then said, “Can you sell it for $2? If you can do this then I will consider that you helped your mom and dad.”
Jordan nodded and said, “I'll try.”
Jordan washed the t-shirt carefully and then put it out in the sun to dry.
The next day, he went to a busy station to sell the t-shirt. Tried to sell there for more than six hours. In the end Jordan was successful in selling the t-shirt. Now he took the $2 and ran home.
After that, every day he would look for used clothes, then go out into the crowd and sell them.
After more than ten days passed, his father once again gave him the used clothes and said, “How do you think we can sell these clothes for $20?”
Jordan said, “How is this possible? This cloth is only worth $2.”
His father encouraged him again and said, “Why don't you try it once? There must be some way.”
Finally, Michael Jordan got an idea, he got his cousin to get a photo of Donald Duck and the mischievous Mickey Mouse on that cloth.
Then he tried to sell it to a school for rich children. Soon a servant who came to collect his master's child bought the cloth for his master's child. The little ten-year-old boy liked the outfit so much that he gave Jordan a five-dollar tip.
The $25 was a huge sum for Jordan, as it was equal to one month's salary for his father.
When Jordan got home, his father handed him a piece of clothing and said, “Can you sell it for $200?” His father's eyes were shining.
This time Jordan took the cloth to sell without any hesitation.
Two months later, actress Farah Fawcett of the popular film “Charlie’s Angels” came to New York to do a promo. After the press conference, Jordan broke through security to approach Farrah Fawcett and asked for her autograph on the clothes he brought with him. When Fawcett saw an innocent child asking for his autograph, he happily signed the cloth.
Jordan was excitedly yelling, “This is autographed by Farrah Fawcett, I'm selling it for $200!” Jordan auctioned the dress, and a businessman bought it for $1200.
Upon returning home, his father said through tears, “It is beyond my understanding that you succeeded in doing this. my children! You are so great!”
That night, Jordan slept with his father. The sleeping father asked, “Son, what was your experience of selling the three clothes I have given you?”
Jordan replied emotionally, “Whatever the mind can think, there must be a way somewhere.”
His father nodded and said, “What you are saying is right. I wanted to tell you that a piece of clothing worth $1 could be worth thousands of dollars, similarly, we may be poor right now. Our condition is not good, we can improve it. It depends on how we use the abilities that each of us has.”
A new sun immediately arose in Jordan's mind. He thought that even a second-hand clothing can be upgraded, so do I have any reason to keep myself vulnerable?
Since then, in any case, Michael Jordan feels that his future is beautiful and hopeful. He respected his abilities to the fullest. He became one of the best basketball players in the world and one of the richest athletes.
