**What makes people the best at what they do? **I remember interviewing Michael Jordan. And I asked, **“What makes you the best in the world?** Skill, talent, opportunity, experience, training?” And he was so cool. **He says to me:** “Mr. Tony, I can tell you the truth without it sounding like exaggeration or false modesty.” **He said:** “I didn’t even play on the school basketball team. I was kicked out in 10th grade.” **Then he said:** “What is this? That every day I demand more from myself than anyone can expect! I don't compete with other people, I compete with what I can do." And it was a standard that inspires. 🗣 **Tony Robbins** on Michael Jordan
