High school students talk about the potential impact the coronavirus will potentially have on them.

Some valuable lessons we can learn from an all-time great when applying to college and selecting the career path of our choice. Kobe Bryant Quotes: 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 are a failure,' I think that is almost worse than dying." On being afraid to fail: "If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail." On making sacrifices to be great: "There's a choice that we have to make as people, as individuals. If you want to be great at something, there's a choice you have to make. We all can 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 friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be. There are sacrifices that come along with making that decision." On being hated: "Learn to love the hate. Embrace it. Enjoy it. You earned it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone should have one about you. Haters are a good problem to have. Nobody hates the good ones. They hate the great ones." On rough shooting nights: "I would go 0-for-30 [from the field] before I would go 0-for-9. 0-for-9 means you beat yourself, you psyched yourself out of the game. … The only reason is because you've just now lost confidence in yourself." On laziness: "I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you." On winning: "Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts." On the difference between losers and winners: "Losers visualize the penalties of failure. Winners visualize the rewards of success."
