Kobe Bryant’s Last Life Advice To The World Can Change Your Future
Tags: opinion
Kobe Bryant’s career defined greatness. He had his ups and downs, and he still went on, scoring basket after basket, laying up, defending, and shooting free throws with a ferocity that few possessed. During the period of 2003-2004, he suddenly found himself at the edge of a precipice, with his personal and professional lives going down. This could have been the end of his career, but it wasn’t meant to be so. He came back, and came back much stronger. The ‘Mamba’ mentality- this is what made Kobe Bryant, ‘King’ Kobe. He was a consummate professional, with a deadly eye for success.
What is it that separates an individual from greatness? It is his hesitation to not be able to let go of inhibitions. Your brain tells you to stop, to let go after a while.

If you lose the zeal towards something that you believe is your dream, it doesn’t remain your dream anymore.

But again, as Kobe puts it correctly “You got to do what you got to do” for the things that you love because that’s the only way towards greatness. That is how you’d leave a mark and always live in the hearts of millions around the world.
