| I am not intentionally manipulating the famous basketball | | | | each and every one of us and we call each other |

| here and I need to use someone really big and | | | | love. Love is there for a reason - not limited to the |
| SUCCESSFUL as an example. I remember in one | | | | couple-love and it's so that we can each reach our |
| interview, the interviewer was unloading praise upon | | | | individual potential as quickly and in the most enjoyable |
| praise on Michael Jordan for performing so well, giving | | | | way possible. |
| Chicago Bulls their xxxth win. The humble and | | | | For instance, if you have decided to start a bakery |
| extraordinary basketball player took the compliments | | | | business and you've you're going to do this alone, |
| gracefully and then added, "I couldn't have done it | | | | you're confident that you can do it - you don't need |

| So, if someone as extraordinarily great as Michael | | | | gotten someone in to do the mixing or manning the |
