explain Michael Jordan’s excursions into golf and baseball.

He wasn't particularly successful at them because he didn't really spend a lifetime playing these sports like he did basketball. He wasn't even particularly good at basketball as a youth. Had he decided to "pay his dues" in these sports instead of being a show-off he might have done a lot better than he did.

” explain Michael Jordan’s excursions into golf and baseball. “

Explain Thomas Edison....

Explain the Wright Brothers....

Thank goodness there was no one to tell them to ‘stick with what they know’, or, worse, “If at first you don’t succeed - quit”...

Risk-taking, and the attendant abject failure, is the story of human progress....
