On playing “in the bubble”, not caring what others think, and listening to the silence
To play good defense you must consistently be “in the bubble”, invading your player’s private territory.
Ideally, even along with playing good help defense, you should be in their bubble every time they get the ball, the moment they get the ball.
If you can do that, you will be a constant irritation to them, which is exactly what you want to be.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“Measure your impact in humanity, not in the likes, but the lives you touch; not in popularity, but in the people you serve.
I found that my life got bigger when I stopped caring about what other people thought about me. You will find yours will too. Stay focused on what really matters.
There will be times when your resolve to serve humanity will be tested. Be prepared. People will try to convince you that you should keep your empathy out of your career. Don’t accept this false premise.”
– Tim Cook
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“What makes music beautiful is the distance between one note and another. What makes speech eloquent is the appropriate pause between words. From time to time we should take a breath and notice the silence between sounds.”
– Haemin Sunim
