Just a few hours ago Golden State Warriors have made history with its 73rd win. The team from Oakland broke the previous record held by Chicago Bulls with 72 wins in 1995-96. Have they even dreamed about it? – I don’t know, but dreams come true, that’s for sure!
So why am I talking basketball? Well first of all I love the game! But I really wanted to make a point here and focus on Steph Curry. He is definitely a role model. He is somebody kids and grown ups should look up to.
Again, why?
For those of you who don’t know who Steph Curry is, let me enlighten you. He is one of the best 3 point shooters (Maybe even best EVER). He is a person who stayed below the radars for a long time but due to his consistency managed to reach the top. He is not that tall for a basketball player – 190 cm or so but he found a way to shine. And he is the player that creates a total new definition of basketball game.
He personally broker another record – for 3 points. He has netted more than 400 3 pointers in one season. Just to compare, on Chicago’s best season on 1995-96′ Scottie Pippen tried for 3 point shots 401 times during the entire season!!! And Curry ? He SCORED 402 3 point shots! He defines basketball on a total new way.
The idea is simple. Curry understood that he can’t be Bryant, Lebron James or anyone of that caliber players. He is not that athletic and not that strong. So he figured out that his way to become top will be to do things differently. So he was working ULTRA hard on his shots. Today, he can score from almost everywhere on the court. And when you watch him play you can easily feel like you are playing Xbox as he is doing things that NO ONE else can even think to do.
This is how it is done. When the odds are against you, you turn them around with hard work. Why? Because hard work ALWAYS pays off. Always! Sooner or later you will be rewarded. The harder you work, the faster your reward will come and the sweeter it will be. Don’t rely on luck. Create your own luck by working hard! And most important – stay genuine. Stay with your feet on earth. To reach success is easier that to maintain it.
This is how opportunities arise, this is how people start looking for you, inviting you to work with them in amazing projects. This is how you meet extraordinary people and create best contacts in your life – by working hard every single day and giving your best effort. And when things don’t go like you want – you work HARDER! Until they do.
You can be the TOP you always wanted. The only thing staying between you and success is…. YOU! Don’t give up for yourself. Fight your way to the top.
You can be the trader you want and you can live the life you want.
