You must have heard the name of Michael Jordan, the God of basketball. When he was young his father always told him that if one has a passion to do something, then nothing Is impossible in this world. He laughed and didn’t believe it. His father decided to do something.
One day, Michael’s father showed him an old dirty T-shirt that was worth $1, and asked him to sell this T-shirt for $2. Michael consented to do it. Michael cleaned that T-shirt, ironed it and made it like a new one. Then he took it to the railway station and sold it for $2.
The next day Michact’s father gave Michael a second T-shirt and said that T-shirt would be sold for $20. Michael took it and thought hard. He cleaned the T-shirt, put a sticker of a Mickey Mouse on it and came to the school where only the children from rich families studied. Finally, one child liked the sticker very much and his father bought the T-shirt for $20.
On the third day, Michael felt tired and wanted to go to the amusement park. Unexpectedly, his father gave Michael another T-shirt and asked him to sell it for $200. Michael refused.
It was a sky-high selling price in his eyes. He even doubted his father said that intentionally. But he had to agree because his father insisted he should try. After thinking, he went to a city where a famous actress Just came. Michael tried to approach that actress and finally got an autograph(亲笔签名) on that T-shirt. He took it to the crowd. When people knew the T-shirt contained that actress, autograph bidding (出价) started and finally a man who paid highest got that T-shirt for $2000. Michael told the whole incident to his father. His father hugged him and said, One day you’ll achieve a great place in your life .You can do any-thing with this spirit.
