Discover the story of Michael Jordan, who was cut from the team but became the greatest basketball player of all time.
Did you know that even champions can be rejected?
When Michael was a little boy, he had a dream as big as the sky: to become the best basketball player in the world. Every day after school, he would run to the neighborhood court, always with a ball tucked under his arm.
“One day, Michael,” his father would say, “you’ll fly across the court just like the heroes in your comic books!”
But the road to success wasn’t easy. During tryouts for the high school team, Michael wasn’t chosen. He was told he was too short. That evening, Michael came home with tears in his eyes.
“I’m not good enough,” he whispered to the poster of his favorite player.
But then, a voice inside him said: “Don’t give up, Michael. Work harder than anyone else.”
From that day on, Michael trained with all his heart. He woke up at dawn to run and spent hours shooting hoops—even in the rain.
His hard work paid off. The following year, Michael had grown taller, and his skills with the ball were unmatched. He made the high school team—and not only did he play, he shone like a star.
“Look, Dad! I’m flying!” Michael shouted during a game, after making an incredible leap and scoring two crucial points.
Michael never stopped. With determination and passion, he kept getting better, until he became a basketball legend, admired by millions.
Michael Jordan never forgot that first disappointment—but he used it as a springboard to reach heights no one had ever touched before.
What does Michael’s story teach us?
That every failure can be the first step toward great success—if you never give up.
And you—are you ready to follow your dreams, even when it seems hard?
