I was watching the Raptors game last night versus the Nets. At one point, Chuck (a commentator) was saying that even when Vince Carter was still with Toronto you could already see something special about Chris Bosh. In particular, he recalled a game where the Raptors were losing. Carter turned to Bosh and said something like, “Don’t worry, it’ll all be over soon.” Bosh replied by telling Carter that it’s never over for him. He brings everything he has to every minute of every game. Bosh seeks to continually improve both his game and the Raptors. Whereas Carter gave up on the Raptors, Bosh kept pressing on. And this is what I like about Bosh. Not only is he an extremely talented basketball player, he always has a great attitude even when the Raptors were a losing team.
I think that sort of mentality is applicable to many areas of our lives. Many times when things get too hard you want to quit, thinking that “it’ll all be over soon.” But if you carry this way of thinking then you’ll never achieve anything great in life. So it all comes down to, do you want to be like Bosh or Carter?
