Don't assume anything you pretentious jerk. If what you were saying is true we would never do anything. The fact I'm even replying to you shows I have a lot of confidence since you are being so illogical and unreasonable. Also you are twisting the example around, in a one on one you play to win. You are talking as if Jordan is going to be teaching me, he won't be. He'll crush me with no mercy since I'm horrible at basketball. I could learn more by doing something else such as reading a book on basketball for 15mins. You seem to think you can master any situation with confidence yet at the same time you say the outcome doesn't matter then you reduce the possibilities to "do or do not; there is no try". I believe that quote is from Yoda of all things, is it not?globetrotter wrote:I can list a BOOK of things that I could learn by spending 15 minutes of one-on-one with Kobe, Iverson or Jordan.
It would be a life highlite.
You two would only do something if guaranteed to win or guaranteed to not get an ass-whipping. That's very unwise.
Some of the most difficult things in my life I knew I could do and decided I would do them. It took a lot of effort and a lot of trial and error still to do them. There are also other things I could probably do but I have some doubt about. This doubt comes not from the fact I doubt my abilities to do it, but I doubt my resolve. You only have a limited amount of time in life. I would rather spend it doing things I am naturally good at and enjoy than trying to overcome my weaknesses and things I dislike.
