Stealing a Bell with One's Ears PluggedDuring the last days of State of Fan (Chu Dynasty), there was a thief who came upon a bell. He wanted to steal it, but it was too heavy to cart away. So he decided to break the bell into pieces. When he hit the bell with the hammer, the bell rang loudly. Not wanting others to hear the noises, he covered up his ears. By logic, not wanting others to hear the noises is understandable.To accomplish this by covering one's own ears, so one cannot hear himself, is absurd。

A boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken.

One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains."Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle. The chicken replied, "Don't give it another thought. That's the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!" And the eagle didn't give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friends, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don't listen to the prairie chickens！ 一个小男孩发现了一只老鹰下的蛋，把它放进了一只山鸡的窝里。

This is extremely powerful; by focusing on potential positives instead of failures, you open yourself up to opportunities for success and achievement. This is exemplified in his quote, “You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.”Focusing on the right things is one of the keys to accelerating your success. Scanning for positives out of a situation makes us happier and productive, making us more likely to succeed.

This is a great ethos: if failure happens, it happens. It's only terrible if you process it as terrible. Jordan describes fear as an 'illusion' that he overcome. Fearing failure itself limits your potential success.Michael said in an interview that he had no disappointments in his playing career. He said there were things that were negative, but he always took them as a positive because it's a great learning experience and without them, other great things wouldn't have happened.Stick To The Basics“The minute you get away from fundamentals – whether its proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation – the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you're doing.”Michael said to stick to the fundamentals and don't get lost in the details. He always tried to find an edge at whatever he worked at and part of that was never losing sight of the basics.Another important Jordan quote says never to try and skip over anything basic: “If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you.” The message is great: if you try to cut corners or think you're beyond doing something that seems basic then you will not be rewarded. To be successful everyone has to stick to certain fundamentals or they will stray from productive habits and focus too much on things that don't matter.太多了，我不确定你要不要中文翻译，要的话，可以追问，我可以翻译的，请采纳我吧。
