His point is to be in love with the process, the journey, the game. Not in love with outcomes that can be defined as failure or success. To be in constant and consistent pursuit of growth and learning.
Yes! I dunno why people make it sound absurd, but it is actually common sense. We were just brainwashed by our society to treat failures as devastating events.
Absolutely, it is about continuous improvement, in whatever you are doing. An outcome is just a "point in time". Time goes on. If you "win" today, that doesn't mean you win forever. If you "lose" today, that doesn't mean you lose forever. Dwelling on wins/losses is nothing more than living in the past, and both "winners" and "losers" can imprison themselves in the past. How you won last time doesn't mean you can do that same thing and win again. What we call "failures" are some of the best ways to learn what not to do again, like he told her about if the show "fails".
So true!! Time to honor the fact that he was around, not only to win, but help others to be successful and to share his wisdom. What's even better is that the wisdom he shared still is attainable to anyone who wants it.
@@linanicolia1363 that's not really a fair statement based on his history. He rode those things thousands of times. The pilot was highly trained and experienced. If anything, the pilot made the mistake of not knowing his limits. Others who had flown Kobe said he never pressured any of them to continue flying if they felt it too dangerous. The law of averages simply caught up to him. The more you fly, the higher the chance of an accident each time...this happened to be the time that the odds went against him. He was very wise and intelligent, he spoke 4 languages, he understood what it took to be great at anything. If you get in a car tomorrow and someone else makes a mistake that kills you, does that mean it was your fault for being unwise enough to believe another person wouldn't make a mistake? People die in car crashes every single day, are you going to stop driving? For that matter, there are millions of things that can kill you, is it unwise to live your life and just stay in your house all day, every day, so that the chance of dying is less significant?
He does not attach himself entirely to the outcome. He has a passion and relentless focus that allows him to be attached to the process. When he is so focused on that, the outcome becomes less important. Also, if he fails, he knows he will come back and conquer it again, at another time. Therefore, the end is never really the end. Unless, you allow it to be.
I'm saddened it took his passing to discover this. Your words are an inspiration and mean so much more than in sports, they are words to live by. Thank you!
Right I wasn't a huge fan of him on the basketball court and never knew that he was so wise and dedicated to his craft and sharing his knowledge on life.
I have a huge fear of failure. Although Kobe has convinced me that I shouldn't be afraid of it, It will take me some time to move on from it. Fear doesn't disappear overnight. Thanks kobe for giving me a different way to look at it, now I can try to be better.
One little secret. The joy of life is finding something new which in other words is learning. The word learning assumes that you don't know hence when you learn, you now know. This means that you have to not know something for you to "learn" which then adds something new in your mind which creates that happy feeling. The most boring state of a man is when he's not learning. It's basic add, subtract, in and out, learn or not learn. There's no other way to have fun in this life but to add more to your knowledge, skills, etc. Being bad at first is part of learning. The fear of failure is actually in other term fear of learning. It's natural to be bad when you're learning. You get good later on. Just enjoy the process of learning because life is short. :)))
The thing I loved most about Kobe aside from his work ethic, was his storytelling ability. Kobe would challenge your thinking and perspective in a way that made you want to be better.
🤯Yoda Kobe was the greatest. He was basically explaining how the hunger to always improve, can cancel out both the fear of failure, and the anxiety of holding onto success. No matter what, you're always motivated to move forward.
He is right, failure doesn‘t exist as long as you learn from them and improve (let it be at sports or at work). Failure only exist if you repeat the same mistakes over an over again and do not learn from them. That is a failure for me.
what I think he is getting at is that it's an abstraction a state of mind just like success. define success you can be very successful one day and a failure the next it isnt something you can be for your whole life. it is a pure abstraction.
I'm not one to ever be saddened by celebrity deaths, but Kobe's was different. So here's my story: I started studying him about a year and a half before he passed as I really rooted him on his final year of playing in the NBA (went crazy over his final game) + his other ventures in life. I grew up hating Kobe among others (Jeter, Brady, etc.) because they were the best and it wasn't until I grew up and matured where I realized the point of what they were doing, if you're going to spend time on something, especially something you love, why not be great at it? What better alternative is there to doing something, spend precious time on something, and not give it your all; for better or for worse. This is something I luckily realized very early on, causing me to change my stance on a lot of things I believed in and valued throughout my life. It changed what I spent time on, who I spent time with and the ways that I went about my day. The day he died, I actually took a rare nap in the morning because I was feeling sick when I woke up that day. My mom came in while I was sleeping and woke me up asking if I had heard the news and mentioning something about Kobe dying. I thought it was some sort of bad dream I was having at the time until there was the mention of his helicopter crashing. While still being half-asleep, this bad dream instantaneously turned into a nightmare as I recalled Kobe mentioning in an interview he did with A-Rod, how he would use a private helicopter to commute much quicker from practice to his kids' school. I finally rolled out of bed, opened Facebook, and started to see the grim realization by everyone else. What only made it worse was the lives lost of not only his daughter Gianni, but the others on the helicopter at the time of the crash. And none of it all really hit me until I re-watched Dear Basketball later that Sunday afternoon and it almost seemed like his eulogy. There's no silver lining that I can draw from his passing. He was starting to turn into an idol of mine and I still haven't quite figured out "the meaning" of his passing as people often mention in religion. I just see it as life. All things that begin must come to an end. It's inevitable. His life, being cut short, was filled with purpose and he sought out success to that purpose, professionally and personally, each and every day, through good days and bad days. Everytime I get recommended videos of Kobe, I'll take a minute to watch it. There's always something to learn from him no matter the conversation. And it's the closest I'll ever be to meeting him.
He was a narcissistic megalomaniac, who wanted to win his way. Even if it meant alienating his teams, on and off the court. The lakers won despite Kobe.
He’s saying the story goes on. Failure implies finality. But that’s not real because it’s not final, the story goes on. And yes, when you come up short you have the opportunity to analyze why that happened and hopefully avoid making those same mistakes going forward
“failure” is a mind-made construct. what one views as “failure” someone else may see as “extravagant success.” that the same situation can be perceived so differently by different people means that failure exists only in the mind, similar to how “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” in other words, failure exists only to the extent that you allow yourself to believe it.
This may sound so simple but it's actually some fire game. Inspiring, may peace and blessings go towards Kobe, his family and to whomever is reading this
He said failure doesn't exist but at the end gave a perfect example of failure... So yes you can lose a million times in life but if you continue to grow and learn, even if you keep losing, you have grown in your journey through life.. and maybe you did not achieve what you wanted but others will learn from you, apply it and they might reach their goals..so your wisdom has gifted someone else.
Kobe was a very successful basketball player and seemed motivated to be the best in whatever field he was in. He was a rare breed. However, people have to be realistic with their goals. It's easy to tell others that you can accomplish your goals, but you need the talent and luck on your side.
@@knpstrr That's not true. Tom Brady may not be the most athletic, but he's 6'4" and can throw a football well. He was also drafted as a baseball player and played high school basketball. To say that he has no raw talent is ridiculous.
Luck comes when hard work meets opportunity. Talent you have naturally skill is developed on hours and hours and hours of honing on your craft. Tom platz golden age bodybuilder said I wasn’t talented I wasn’t the chosen one I didn’t have genetics jay cutler too. Does genetics make a superstar? No the superstar makes a superstar. Arnold Schwarzenegger said “legends are made not born and also said it is one thing to idolize heroes it is quite another to visualize yourself in their place. When I saw great people I said to myself I can be there.” Kobe wasn’t naturally talented and had god given ability Jordan even had talent but worked on it and if it wasn’t for his standard to be the best and his work ethic he would have never been the goat. Kobe too the mindset mamba mentality without the tireless work ethic doing whatever it takes and keep improving he never would have been that great talent is raw skills are developed. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. You have to have some talent yes I agree but when you work on it snd turn weaknesses into strengths you will be unstoppable. Fuck realistic if anyone has ever done it I can do it! People told Arnold all the time you will never do this you can’t look like that it’s only impossible until someone does it. I don’t give a shit if nobody has ever become this boxing UFC champion bodybuilding champion wrestler worlds strongest man actor. Franco columbu my idol rip was a champ boxer than bodybuilding and did that at the same time as worlds strongest man than became an action hero. If he can I can too with that physique. And someday that will be Josh Peterson inspiring millions and telling my story snd honouring the fallen legends Kobe, rich piana, Dallas mcarver Franco, ultimate warrior eg 🪦. Rich piana said if you’re grinding to your goals all day long and do whatever it takes you can do anything in life. Regardless if it’s bodybuilding opening a business fighting acting whatever if I can fucking do it you can fucking do it. Always stay positive and keep that shit out of your head. RIP.
so there IS failure, which is failing to understand what you’ve done wrong. And to take corrective steps = critical thinking = super rare and hard for us to do !
Having the tenacity to never ever give up, no matter what, is the most valuable lesson I have ever learned, and it has helped me countless times through my life. It was my stepbrother who casually said those words to me on the eve of an exam, when I was unsure if I was going to do well. Just never ever give up, he said. I would like to say the same thing to anyone having a tough time. Do not allow yourself to give up, EVER. Succes may come in a form different to what you may be expecting, but it will come eventually, I promise.
There's a poem by Rudyard Kipling called 'IF'.... Kobe literally just summed up one of my favorite lines... It goes, ''And if you can meet with Triumph or Disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same!''
His teachings will be with us forever. The mentality, the blueprint, and everything he accomplished. Etched in history and alive in our minds. #mambaforever
Bruce Lee said the same thing. Really this reminds me of Chinese Connection. The philosophy of Master Ho of the Ching Wu School is entirely about focusing on self development, and being the best version of yourself as opposed to "training to win" or "training to be considered the best." This is the philosophy behind Wizdom Trust as well.
This man’s sums it up perfectly. In a nutshell just keep going. For every “No” you are receiving a better “Yes”. What is lost always comes back around in a different more evolved form. This is the law of polarity. Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, every closed door, every minute bit of pain and suffering Carrie’s with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. The key is to stay focused and transmute all the pain suffering and negative energy. Every trauma every loss every bit of pain suffering and hurt will turn around for your benefit. Nothing can touch you with this mindset. Repetition reinforces learning. It’s not about the right method it’s about the right practice. There is nothing to prove to anyone not even an all loving god but yourself. This takes a lot of pressure off. Every comeback is always greater than every setback. What ever it is you are going through or if your simply in a bad place.. there will eventually be a time when you have no choice but to get out of it. Whatever might happen time will heal it, and you must fight your way out. The only only thing that will stay for you forever is if you quit. With every punch you take you will learn to slip it. Then you’ll have an unbreakable skill that lasts forever. Perseverance You can cast spells on yourself to become great! I tell myself things that might not even be true. But not believing them doesn’t benefit me. Saying that “I already have what I want and I am that version of myself right now” This boosts my confidence. Even if it’s not entirely true you’re only part of the way there. Having this kind of blind commitment and blind faith in yourself is extremely extremely POWERFUL. It’s important to have deep faith in yourself. Trusting in yourself will not only transform you into a better person all around but a more productive one as well. Use a mixture of lying to yourself and discipline to make yourself do what you know you’re supposed to do. Decide that this is what you’re supposed to be doing right now. The best part of all this is that we never stop building. You’ve got this man!
I miss KB so much. Like he said in the video, I stopped and started and stopped again. It hurts so much watching him in videos on TH-cam. It's like watching a ghost. Let's all never give up and continue on our journeys. Peace.
He is correct. Failure doesn't exist. Learn from your disappointments. You cannot judge yourself by someone else's perspective. I used to do that-no more! THANK YOU KOBE.
While i understand where Kobe is coming from, i think what he means is that failure is a figment of our imagination. It's something we create in our mind when we set goals and don't accomplish them. He is also absolutely correct that we must learn from our failures and continue to improve because life is a journey, not a destination. We truly fail when we don't learn from those dissapointments.
I used to listen to a lot of Kobe 3 years ago when I joined the gym he helped me a lot 😢 still hard to believe he's gone such great character, charisma
This guy was on a completely different level mentally than any other NBA player we’ve ever seen. Yes, even Jordan, who had a must win no matter what mentality. Lebron’s mental game doesn’t even come CLOSE.
Kobe had such a healthy perception of life, it’s kinda unreal because he was in a happy state which seems to be foreign nowadays. At the time I was watching this clip the advice was purely regarding success or failure, however now I can really see that he got to a point in life where he didn’t attached his self worth to his success and failures. Which allowed him to live successful and happy life. Crazy how the initial advice is about success and failure, but the more important inadvertent advice is self worth isn’t determine by success or failure The dream isn’t the success, but you waking up every morning to work towards enhancing your life
Kobe I hope I can reach you somewhere out there. I understand everything you say and you make me feel Im not so lonely in this world. Thank you, you are not here on earth anymore but I know you are here too, so thank you. I will continue the mission, I got it, I got it.
Keep training. Train harder. Go all in. Give it your all. Invest in yourself. Assist others, build people up. Others will want you succeed if you both help them AND outwork them. Such a dedicated athlete
His point is to be in love with the process, the journey, the game. Not in love with outcomes that can be defined as failure or success. To be in constant and consistent pursuit of growth and learning.
Just focus on the present
Perfect summation
Yes! I dunno why people make it sound absurd, but it is actually common sense. We were just brainwashed by our society to treat failures as devastating events.
Absolutely, it is about continuous improvement, in whatever you are doing. An outcome is just a "point in time". Time goes on. If you "win" today, that doesn't mean you win forever.

How you won last time doesn't mean you can do that same thing and win again.
What we call "failures" are some of the best ways to learn what not to do again, like he told her about if the show "fails".
This right here.
im done grieving this legend... time to honour his teachings
Out of respect I'm going to leave it at 81 likes...His 81 point game is and will always be historic
I am not done but I am now strong enough to see any video of his...
So true!! Time to honor the fact that he was around, not only to win, but help others to be successful and to share his wisdom. What's even better is that the wisdom he shared still is attainable to anyone who wants it.
@@sager3388 bro isn’t it crazy ? Like how his death affected so many people ….. that’s what a legend does 💯
Lost too many legends and we forgot about the messages they lived on, thank u for this comment and hope all is well
failure is not losing, failure is giving up. Losing is the best opportunity for you to learn and grow stronger
Well said👍👍👍
Kobe Tribute video I made guys! Lmk what do you think!

How do you learn with losing, it gives us many fails💀
Only means a lot because Kobe said it.
If Lebron said the same thing, everyone would say he's making excuses for his Finals losses 😂😂😂.
Getting rid of all my self help books. Seriously, he just summed it up right there. Kobe was a very wise man.
not wise enough to know, he should not have gotten in the chopper, without the pilot being able to use his IFR rating.
@@linanicolia1363 Was talking about his mindset on failure. Not his choice to fly with a very experienced pilot who ended up making a fatal mistake.
@@linanicolia1363 that's not really a fair statement based on his history. He rode those things thousands of times. The pilot was highly trained and experienced. If anything, the pilot made the mistake of not knowing his limits. Others who had flown Kobe said he never pressured any of them to continue flying if they felt it too dangerous. The law of averages simply caught up to him. The more you fly, the higher the chance of an accident each time...this happened to be the time that the odds went against him. He was very wise and intelligent, he spoke 4 languages, he understood what it took to be great at anything. If you get in a car tomorrow and someone else makes a mistake that kills you, does that mean it was your fault for being unwise enough to believe another person wouldn't make a mistake? People die in car crashes every single day, are you going to stop driving? For that matter, there are millions of things that can kill you, is it unwise to live your life and just stay in your house all day, every day, so that the chance of dying is less significant?
Only “self help guru” you need is David Goggins
@@charliebroussard8505 I love Goggins too! Total bad ass.

Kobe had some real, real wisdom. He did not have mentality of a typical human
"I play to learn" RIP to a legend!
There is no failure there is only learning,rip my man
the fear of failure is embedded in my subconscious, I'm too worried about what others think of me, instead of thinking what's best for myself.
Unbelievably powerful mindset. May he rest in peace!
I have a huge fear of failure. Although Kobe has convinced me that I shouldn't be afraid of it, It will take me some time to move on from it. Fear doesn't disappear overnight. Thanks kobe for giving me a different way to look at it, now I can try to be better.
Man his words still bring me to tears. Even in my late 20s, this dude continues to drop gens that help me in every aspect of life
Miss his voice and 100% agree man
This is a real Zen way of looking at things and an ideal mentality when taking action. R.I.P. Kobe. He was a good man.
He has a very Buddhist mindset. I have immense respect for this man

Kobe's mindset on winning and being successful is incredible. Everyone can apply it to their own life.
After watching Giannis interview. I remember this clip.
The story continúes Kobe. live on.
There need to be "failures" so you can actually learn and improve and get better.
Fearlessness is the key!!
I really miss Kobe I grow up watching him even in high school when he play our team being from Philly. Mamba mentally will never die.
Kobe is on another level, there’s no two way about that. But i would like to give the interviewer her credits for asking great great questions
*Kobe’s CONSCIOUSNESS!! 🔥💡🧠👑💪🏽🚀✨*
Failures are lessons i think thats what he’s saying
Failures and successes are both challenges and lessons
Nah they dont exists
He’s saying the story goes on. Failure implies finality. But that’s not real because it’s not final, the story goes on. And yes, when you come up short you have the opportunity to analyze why that happened and hopefully avoid making those same mistakes going forward

Losses != Failure
Kobe had a Ph.D in life and in lessons. It's just that simple. I LOVE his motivation and his rock hard, killer mental...
His clarity of thinking was incredible. What a fantastic character.
Man this talk was incredibly motivational in terms of changing the outlook of reaching your goals. Spoken like a true legend, May he rest in peace ♥️
Kobe mastered life
i think he unleashed every secret that he kept over the years on TH-cam....so i feel blessed literally!!!
Kobe was a very successful basketball player and seemed motivated to be the best in whatever field he was in. He was a rare breed. However, people have to be realistic with their goals. It's easy to tell others that you can accomplish your goals, but you need the talent and luck on your side.

Succes may come in a form different to what you may be expecting, but it will come eventually, I promise.
There's a poem by Rudyard Kipling called 'IF'.... Kobe literally just summed up one of my favorite lines... It goes, ''And if you can meet with Triumph or Disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same!''
His teachings will be with us forever. The mentality, the blueprint, and everything he accomplished. Etched in history and alive in our minds. #mambaforever
Bruce Lee said the same thing.
Really this reminds me of Chinese Connection.
The philosophy of Master Ho of the Ching Wu School is entirely about focusing on self development, and being the best version of yourself as opposed to "training to win" or "training to be considered the best."
This is the philosophy behind Wizdom Trust as well.
This alone makes him the GOAT
Kobe still feel like a movie that your gone love forever mamba 🙏💎🕊️🕊️
How is this stuff not getting a lot of views?
It is now
Because people on the internet rather have their minds tickled with nonsense and meaningless distractions than to ponder on deep things.
Didn't you just hear her say her ratings are tanking
because only view find the hard truth to be entertaining
someone made a video explaining that oxygen is necessary for breathing and it also got not many views. same reason.
This man’s sums it up perfectly.
In a nutshell just keep going.
For every “No” you are receiving a better “Yes”.
What is lost always comes back around in a different more evolved form.
This is the law of polarity.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, every closed door, every minute bit of pain and suffering Carrie’s with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
The key is to stay focused and transmute all the pain suffering and negative energy.
Every trauma every loss every bit of pain suffering and hurt will turn around for your benefit.
Nothing can touch you with this mindset.
Repetition reinforces learning. It’s not about the right method it’s about the right practice.
There is nothing to prove to anyone not even an all loving god but yourself.
This takes a lot of pressure off.
Every comeback is always greater than every setback.
What ever it is you are going through or if your simply in a bad place..
there will eventually be a time when you have no choice but to get out of it.
Whatever might happen time will heal it, and you must fight your way out.
The only only thing that will stay for you forever is if you quit.
With every punch you take you will learn to slip it.
Then you’ll have an unbreakable skill that lasts forever.
Perseverance
You can cast spells on yourself to become great!
I tell myself things that might not even be true.
But not believing them doesn’t benefit me.
Saying that “I already have what I want and I am that version of myself right now”
This boosts my confidence.
Even if it’s not entirely true you’re only part of the way there.
Having this kind of blind commitment and blind faith in yourself is extremely extremely POWERFUL.
It’s important to have deep faith in yourself.
Trusting in yourself will not only transform you into a better person all around but a more productive one as well.
Use a mixture of lying to yourself and discipline to make yourself do what you know you’re supposed to do.
Decide that this is what you’re supposed to be doing right now.
The best part of all this is that we never stop building.
You’ve got this man!
I miss KB so much. Like he said in the video, I stopped and started and stopped again. It hurts so much watching him in videos on TH-cam. It's like watching a ghost. Let's all never give up and continue on our journeys. Peace.
Brilliant man , love his mantra on life and the game
Even after his death.. he didn't fail.. his damn legacy grew more.. this man made his point.. bless you kobe for your existence 🙏..
He is correct. Failure doesn't exist. Learn from your disappointments. You cannot judge yourself by someone else's perspective. I used to do that-no more! THANK YOU KOBE.
Kobe man, what a Legend🙂
Happened into this early one Saturday morning. One of the most uplifting things in a while!
He’s a gem 💎
Mindset was so on point! Kobe will live FOREVER
The story continues... Even after his life ended, his legacy will still continue to teach millions until the end of time.
Love it! My Dad had the same attitude: "I never lose, I either win or I learn."
The way he looks at psychological aspects is honestly amazing
I'm not a Kobe fan but why dislike this? I learn a lot from him
This dude has a beautiful mind! Seriously I’m always impressed.
He is right failure is a part of progression , keep moving forward don't stop
Probably one of, if not the most insightful athlete of all time imo
While i understand where Kobe is coming from, i think what he means is that failure is a figment of our imagination. It's something we create in our mind when we set goals and don't accomplish them. He is also absolutely correct that we must learn from our failures and continue to improve because life is a journey, not a destination. We truly fail when we don't learn from those dissapointments.
I used to listen to a lot of Kobe 3 years ago when I joined the gym he helped me a lot 😢 still hard to believe he's gone such great character, charisma
His passion for his passions is insane.
LOve This man .
Kobe....Goat! was hungry for greatness from day one!
A legend in the flesh😢rest in peace
Some of the most important words I've ever heard 🙏🏽❤️
We miss you like hell Kobe, thanks for everything you did and were. 💚💚💚
My man had one of the worst endings in the books. R.I.P. Kobe and his daughter
No he did not. We are here learning from him
Kobe the philosopher. I resonate with what he's saying.
This man is gifted. Don't get me wrong, he did a lot of hardwork, but, to have that kinda mindset...its rare.
The next step after realizing failure doesn't exist is admitting that neither does success, else you fall into the trap of being satisfied.
This guy was on a completely different level mentally than any other NBA player we’ve ever seen. Yes, even Jordan, who had a must win no matter what mentality.
Lebron’s mental game doesn’t even come CLOSE.
Wow, he was brilliant.
I miss you kobe
This is really true. You simply can't escape from a problem It will come back in another form at another time. You have to learn from your failures.
and didnt need kobe to state the obvious. if you do, that really sucks
God damn man Kobe's outlook on life was so good and inspiring. Adapt and emulate this man's mindset!! RIP KOBE
Kobe was special
Yassss! He’s just the best.
Whoever watch this apply it to you life also prayer and God comes first
Kobe had such a healthy perception of life, it’s kinda unreal because he was in a happy state which seems to be foreign nowadays.
At the time I was watching this clip the advice was purely regarding success or failure, however now I can really see that he got to a point in life where he didn’t attached his self worth to his success and failures. Which allowed him to live successful and happy life. Crazy how the initial advice is about success and failure, but the more important inadvertent advice is self worth isn’t determine by success or failure
The dream isn’t the success, but you waking up every morning to work towards enhancing your life
Perfect saying, i couldnt agree more. Failure only exists to those who let it dominate them. It doesnt exist to someone who is spiritually developed.
Kobe I hope I can reach you somewhere out there. I understand everything you say and you make me feel Im not so lonely in this world. Thank you, you are not here on earth anymore but I know you are here too, so thank you. I will continue the mission, I got it, I got it.
Keep training. Train harder. Go all in. Give it your all. Invest in yourself. Assist others, build people up. Others will want you succeed if you both help them AND outwork them.
Such a dedicated athlete
He didn't die. He Progressed. He knew the game and played it.
Goood interviewer!! She gave him the chance to inspire is all by daring to ask the question!
one of the best advice I've ever heard
The wise man is neither cast down by adversity nor raised up by prosperity
