There is a small minority that, even though some don’t know they’re doing it, embrace struggle and progress further than the majority and achieve success and fulfilment.
The year is 1978, a sophomore student tried out for the varsity basketball team at Laney High School. When the list of players was posted, his name was not on it, he was instead asked to play on the junior team. He was told that he did not have enough talent and had not proven himself as an outstanding basketball player. The 15-year-old student was heartbroken by this crushing blow and cried in his room, convinced that he should give thesport up until his mother convinced him otherwise. Instead of letting this unexpected struggle defeat him, he played on the junior team and worked on his game relentlessly.
