Kobe Bryant’s inspirational quotes

Kobe Bryant in 2008: “Have a good time. Life is too short to get bogged down and be discouraged. You have to keep moving. You have to keep going. Put one foot in front of the other, smile and just keep on rolling.”

Kobe on Failure: “When we are saying this cannot be accomplished, this cannot be done, then we are short-changing ourselves. My brain, it cannot process failure. It will not process failure. Because if I have to sit there and face myself and tell myself, ‘You’re a failure,’ I think that is a worse, that is almost worse than death.”

Kobe on Sacrifices: “There’s a choice that we have to make as people, as individuals. If you want to be great at something there is a choice you have to make. We can all be masters at our craft, but you have to make a choice. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that — family time, hanging out with your friends, being a great friend. being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be. There are sacrifices that come along with that.”

Kobe on Chasing Success: “When you make a choice and say, 'Come hell or high water, I am going to be this,’ then you should not be surprised when you are that. It should not be something that is intoxicating or out of character because you have seen this moment for so long that … when that moment comes, of course it is here because it has been here the whole time, because it has been [in your mind] the whole time.”

Kobe on Mastering your Craft: “Once you know what it is in life that you want to do, then the world basically becomes your library. Everything you view, you can view from that perspective, which makes everything a learning asset for you.”

Kobe on the challenge of coming back from injuries: “The process of it [drives me to come back]. I want to see if I can. I don’t know if I can. I want to find out. I want to see. I’m going to do what I always do: I’m going to break it down to its smallest form, smallest detail, and go after it. Day by day, one day at a time.”

Kobe on Retirement: “There is beauty in that. I mean, it’s going through the cycle. I mean, it’s the cycle that is the natural progression of growth, of maturation. I mean, there’s no sadness in that … I see the beauty in not being able to blow past defenders anymore, you know what I mean? I see the beauty in getting up in the morning and being in pain because I know all the hard work that it took to get to this point. So, I’m not, I’m not sad about it. I’m very appreciative of what I’ve had.”

Kobe’s advice to Gordon Hayward about returning rehabbing an injury: “Reality gives nothing back and nor should you. Time to move on and focus on doing everything in your power to prepare for surgery, ask all the questions to be sure you understand fully the procedure so that you may visualize it in your subconscious while being operated on and better the chance of it’s success. Then focus on the recovery process day by day by day. It’s a long journey but if you focus on the mini-milestones along the way you will find beauty in the struggle of doing simple things that prior to this injury were taken for granted. This will also mean that when you return you will have a new perspective. You will be so appreciative of being able to stand, walk, run that you will train harder than you ever have. You see the belief within you grow with each mini milestone and you will come back a better player for it.”

Knowledge is power and the library is our armoury

White people can’t have dreads, and that’s okay!

So a lot of people tell me they want dreads because it’s “cool” or “edgy” or it speaks to them or whatever. But y’all have great braided hairstyles of your own! Look:

But I want DREADS! Like the VIKINGS!!!

For one the Vikings didn’t have dreads/matts. To take from @bornabitch-allthedaysandnights past post: “Similarly Vikings all wore elaborate braids and were so obsessed with combs that they are one of the most common Viking era artifacts found, AND they were buried with their detail carved combs, which shows their significance. More importantly, Viking bog bodies prove that they used complex (think LOTR) style braiding.” But that’s okay because guess what!

I’ve got y’all!!!

BOOM now you’re a cool Viking AND not offending anyone! That’s like 1000000x better now isn’t it? There’s so many great styles for y’all I don’t understand why you’d want to steal styles from other cultures. Likkkkeeeee

Come on every style up there is better than when y’all do this stuff like seriously 😐
