"When we look at him we see MICHAEL JORDAN. But at that point he was only Michael Jordan."
Being an athlete I think I read this article with a different perspective. My whole life I have been told that I am a "natural athlete" I seem to pick up the skills needed for a sport almost instantly. But that doesn't mean that I don't make mistakes as well. I believe that some people are born with a more athletic ability than others but that doesn't mean you don't have to work in order to improve your skills. When I first started playing softball I understood the game right away but I still had to go to practice to be with my team and learn NEW skills that I could work on. To me, the quote above says that until you put effort into something you truly believe in, your name will just be a name. But when you put in that effort and become successful your name will become an icon that people in the future will look up to.
Question: Is it ever ok to give up? If so, when?
