Week 10 - Commercial - EOC


  I chose the Michael Jordan "Failure" Commercial that came out in 1997, because it starts with Michael walking out of a limo wearing a nice designer suit.  You hear his voice over as he walks into the stadium.  He talks about how many shots he has missed,  how many games he had lost and how many times he was given the winning shot and lost the game.  At the end he says that due to his failures he had succeeded.
  What this Ad tells me is that if I fail at something I should not take it as defeat.  But take it as a learning method to improve on what I wanted to achieve where I failed.  There are times that we do things and fail.  We get frustrated and 90% of us quit and accept defeat.  The other 10% are the ones that take a step back and assess the situation on what is not working.  From there they take it as a learning step and find other solutions instead of focusing on the problem at hand.
  This commercial speaks to us that even the greatest player in basketball history worked hard to achieve his goals and dreams.  That with each failure or obstacle he would over come it and allow nothing to get in his way to achieve his dreams.  This commercial meant that it is okay to fail, but not to lie down in defeat, but to rise back on your feet and hit it hard to achieve your goals and dreams.  Remember that the adventure is the journey to reach your paradise and there will be plenty of dangers to get there.
