Kobe Bryant: "Failure doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination"

An interviewer asks: "Are you someone who loves to win or hates to lose?"

Kobe responds:

"I'm neither. I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win that supersedes fear, I think it's a weakness either way. If you play with fear of failing, you'll capitulate to that fear. If you play with the sense of 'I want to win, I want to win,' then you have the fear of what happens if you don't. But if you find common ground in the center, you're unfazed by either. That enables you to stay in the moment and not feel anything other than what's in front of you."

The interviewer asks: "How did you become someone who doesn't seem afraid of failing?"

Kobe responds:

"What does failure mean? It doesn't exist. It's a figment of your imagination."

He explains with an analogy:

"Let's use happy endings. Everybody wants a happy ending, right? Snow White finds her prince and lives happily ever after. Well, I call BS on that because two months later, they had an argument and he's sleeping on the couch. The point is: the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it's a failure is if you decide to not progress from that. If I fail today, I'm going to learn something from that failure and try again on Tuesday. That's why failure doesn't exist."

The interviewer asks: "If you finished your career without a championship, would you have looked at that as a failure?"

Kobe:

"No. I would look at it as being extremely disappointed, because I had a dream and goals I wanted to accomplish. If I didn't accomplish those goals, I'd have to ask myself why. Poor leadership? Failure to communicate with my teammates? Lack of preparation? Those would be reasons why I didn't win. So I'd have to analyze that. And as I evolved post-basketball into business, those same weaknesses would reveal themselves there too. If I don't learn from that, I'm going to struggle again."

He concludes:

"I can take those situations and learn from them and have them make me a better person later in life. But if I don't take that stuff and apply it someplace else, that's failing. The worst possible thing you can ever do is to stop. It's to not learn."

The actions taken in Edmonton by me and others clearly show that the Alberta government and its various agencies prioritize illegal, trespassing unsafe oil and gas over the rights of landowners to be safe and to earn income from their land.

That’s a problem for all landowners.

@ABDanielleSmith That is an interesting spin. My daughter was on the surgical wait list for almost 3 years. Keep up the great work!🙄

[Daniel Hein @hein_daniel]

@wilshire30 @yegwave Have a good day.

[Daniel Hein @hein_daniel]

@RLightbulb @yegwave Too much in the post to respond too. I wish you well.

[Daniel Hein @hein_daniel]

@auntiewillow @yegwave I am sorry that you must of had such a negative experience in the education system to make this general statements.

[Daniel Hein @hein_daniel]

@wilshire30 @yegwave It is not talking down, it is pointing out misinformation that you posted including indoctrination . You made statements of the days of work and wages earned. Within your post you do not recognize most teacher do not earn 100k or the amount of work after hours. Have a good day.

[Daniel Hein @hein_daniel]

@wilshire30 @yegwave You clearly have a delusion about the school system, which is not worth engaging with. I hope over time you will have a better understanding of the school system and how the Alberta curriculum works.

[Daniel Hein @hein_daniel]

@SomeoneDiverge @yegwave They have given up receiving a wage for three weeks in an attempt to make the education system better. I encourage you to speak with teachers to understand the time they put in well beyond the school hours.

Petition to keep Alberta in Canada is really close to collecting enough signatures, but we need to have a “comfort margin” in case some signatures get rejected.

PLEASE, continue signing the #ForeverCanadian petition!!!

@14froger14 @yegwave If you want to make this about teachers’ wages, l encourage you to look at wage increases since 2012.

[Daniel Hein @hein_daniel]

@14froger14 @yegwave This about far more than wages. It is about a system that has been underfunded for years. Change needs to happen to support students and keep teachers in the profession.

[Daniel Hein @hein_daniel]

@sassylinnyb @yegwave I encourage you to research the funding of schools in Alberta. The per student funding in Alberta is the lowest in the country. This has resulted in significant challenges within schools. This is image is from the Fraser Institute, which is conservative think tank.
