"The greater your gifts, the greater your duty."

"Go big, because we all go home."

2: Kobe Bryant’s mindset when learning new skills

“What I mean by that is: if I wanted to implement something new into my game, I’d see it and try incorporating it immediately.

I wasn’t scared of missing, looking bad, or being embarrassed. That’s because I always kept the end result, the long game, in my mind. I always focused on the fact that I had to try something to get it, and once I got it, I’d have another tool in my arsenal.

If the price was a lot of work and a few missed shots, I was OK with that.“
