Not only the NBA fans were destroyed after this sad news, but millions of people around the globe, to who Kobe was an example and motivation for success.
We all can learn a lot from Kobe’s successful carrier, let’s have a look at the most important part.
“Mamba” mentality
He was known as “Black Mamba”, he chose the nickname. It came after he had a period of stagnation, from which he was searching for a way out. He found it in the mentality of a winner.
He never gave up on his goals, was strongly committed to games and perfecting them, and knew the value of discipline and work ethics.
Keeping up
Kobe Bryant was a perfectionist, and that is how he managed his success, moreover, he did not hide it from his teammates, he was direct with them and told them when they had a bad performance.
Laziness, giving up, and go awry did not exist in his vocabulary.
Fear of failure
A sentence from which we can learn more about Kobe is the following: “If you fear the failure, you will probably fail.”
Failure is a fear that everybody has experienced already, it has killed a lot of dreams.
Do not be one of these failures, do not let something destroy your dreams, listen to that small fear’s voice, and make it your strength.
The importance of being a role model
Kobe knew very well how a model role can help you to succeed.
He said many times that he found inspiration through Michael Jordan, whose games, moves, and tricks he would watch and learn for hours.
That feeling of competition and the urge to succeed pushed him above his own limits.
