George Raveling: 我的人生信条是服务他人，帮助他们成为更好的人。我从不追求金钱或名利，而是在于对他人产生的积极影响。即使在职业生涯中遇到不公正待遇，我也始终坚持自己的原则，为自己的价值而奋斗。我与迈克尔·乔丹的合作建立在相互信任的基础上，我们不仅是教练和球员的关系，更是亦师亦友。我每天早上都会问自己，今天如何才能成为更好的人，如何才能更好地服务他人。我会通过阅读、思考和控制自己的精力来实现目标。即使面临健康问题，我也会尽力帮助他人，直到生命的最后一刻。我的人生目标是死时‘一无所有’，即所有精力和资源都用在了帮助他人上。 Ryan Holiday: 乔治·拉夫林的传奇人生并非仅仅体现在篮球场上的成就，更在于他对他人和篮球运动产生的深远影响。他的故事体现了斯多葛哲学的精髓：专注于自己能够控制的事情，并尽力服务他人。他与迈克尔·乔丹的合作，以及他对年轻球员的培养，都展现了他卓越的领导力和人格魅力。他的新书《What You're Made For》分享了他的人生经验，为我们提供了宝贵的启示。他的人生经历也证明了，人生的价值不在于获得多少荣誉，而在于对社会和他人做出了多少贡献。

Shownotes Transcript

In today’s PT. 2 episode, George Raveling, basketball legend and Civil Rights leader, opens up about his close bond with Michael Jordan, the question he asks himself every morning, and why serving others holds more value than any accolade.

As one of the most revered basketball coaches of all time, George has mentored legendary athletes and worked alongside coaching icons like Bob Knight and John Wooden. He played a pivotal role in persuading Michael Jordan to collaborate with Nike on Air Jordan, guided the 1984 U.S. men’s Olympic team to gold, and even became the unexpected guardian of the original, handwritten copy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
