IRJE #2 – Archie – Michael Jordan The Life

Michael Jordan the life is a biography about one of the greatest basketball players of all time. It talks about the struggles that Michael Jordan grew up with and how hard he worked to get to where he is today. This book has many inspirational and motivational quotes but my favourite was this one:

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 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. And that is why I succeed.”

 

This quote really shows that it is impossible to succeed without failure and that when you fail you should use it as motivation to try even harder, to do even better next time. If you don’t try theres 0% chance at success.

MASTER AND MAN OPINION

I think master and man was a short story that was had a deep meaning and lesson. Although this book had a deep meaning I think it was but overall I think it was a kind of pointless story and should’ve continued for longer. I didn’t like how it was just about them getting stuck in a snowstorm and it could’ve had more action in it.  Sure it had a nice moment like when Vasili saved Nikita from freezing but other then that there was no really twist or crazy moments to the book. I liked to learn about the characters and how their characters and personalities changed throughout the book but overall the story was kind of boring. If the story had more action , plot twists and crazy moments as well as a longer continuation to it i think it would’ve enjoyed reading it.
