Handbook inc.’s Success Super Book : a definitive Consolidation of 25 Perspectives to Guide your Future Success

7. They Spend Time With Friends and Family. I implied it in 
the last point, but I’ll reiterate it more strongly here: your job isn’t 
everything. Focusing too much on your career is self-sabotage, no 
matter how counterintuitive that might sound. If you want to be 
successful in life, you have to prioritize your personal relationships-
-your bond with your friends and family members. No matter how 
much you want to be successful and climb the corporate ladder 
quickly, you can’t neglect your friends and family to do it.

ONE OF THE 
ALL-TIME NBA 
GREATS’ WORK 
ETHIC WILL 
AMAZE YOU.
On Monday, the Los Angeles Lakers retired two jerseys. Magic 
Johnson emceed the ceremony before a standing-room-only crowd 
at the Staples Center in the heart of downtown L.A. As the two 
jerseys, numbers 8 and 24, were hoisted to the rafters, the adoring 
Laker fans showered applause on the Laker greats who wore them. 
For this storied franchise with a long list of Hall of Famers, it was a 
fitting tribute.
There’s only one twist to this fairy tale. Both numbers were worn 
by the same man.
During Kobe Bryant’s 20-year career, he elevated a Laker franchise 
that had already seen the likes of Jabbar and Magic. His record 
wasn’t without its smudges--he was arrested in 2004 in connection 
with a sexual assault complaint in Colorado, and while the charges 
were later dropped, his reputation was tarnished. Even so, he 
remains one of the very early success stories of players who came 
right out of high school to the NBA.
