Ben Wallace, a basketball player of Chicago Bulls of NBA, should receive more love from you guys. Everybody talks about Michael Jordan in NBA history, but you should give credit for those who are not only hard worker, but have "resilient" in their middle names!Ben Wallace's career is not a walk in a park. He started out being a sub in Washington (1996-1999), Orlando (1999-2000), and finally bling his way to superstardom in Detroit Pistons with NBA Champs titles (2000 -2006), and now with Chicago Bulls (2006-present). Being a sub for the first three years is no fun; especially if you only average 5 minutes of play on your 1st season for 34 games. I mean, you have to learn a lot in those 5 minutes! Never give up, finally, all the hard work and resillience paid off. At Detroit, he won Defensive Player of the Year, being in All-Defensive first team for years, play in All-Stars, NBA Champs, etc. etc. Nobody to somebody. A Winner. Period.
To be a bit one-sided on his game, a defense-only approach, makes me think of one fact: you have to play to your strength; don't be a wannabe. Ben's situations can be found in your life - family life, biz life, etc. You want to be rich? play to your strength. You want to be happy? play to your strength. Nobody can guarantee your happiness should you marry celebs or not; nobody can guarantee your success should you play in the stock market with gambler mind set... the point is, work your way up through learning, learning, learning, learning... so that when opportunities are present, you know how to take advantage.
And, oh. He has an afro hairstyle, too! :D
