全世界最伟大的篮球运动员迈克尔·乔丹在率领公牛队获得两次三连冠后，毅然决定退出篮坛，因为他已经得到世界上篮球运动史中最多的个人光荣纪录与团队纪录，甚至是20世纪最伟大的体坛运动员。

在退役后，他说：“我成功了！因为我比任何人都努力。”

乔丹不只比任何人都努力，在他已经是最顶峰的时候，他还让自己更努力，不断地突破自己的极限与纪录。

在公牛队练球的时候，他的练习时间比任何人都长，据说他除了睡觉之外，一天只休息两个小时，剩下的时间全部练球。

时常看到有的篮球运动员在罚球的时候投不进球，于是，对手就不断运用策略在他身上犯规。但如果他一天也像乔丹一样只休息两个小时，其余时间全部在罚线练球增加自己的准确度，这样持续一年下来，他罚球的能力定会提高。

在美国，有一个卖汽车的业务员总是在他们公司销售成绩排名第一。有人问他：“你为什么总是第一名？”他回答说：“因为我每个月都设法比第二名多卖一台车子。”这么简单的一个方法，这样简单的一句回答告诉了我们一个简单的成功道理——永远比第一名更努力。
