For the key points in the videos, most of us will probably have similar ideas, so we provided sample answers to #1 and #2.

1. The main point of the Michael Jordan Failure commercial is: “You have to fail in order to succeed!” Failure is a natural part of an accomplishment.

2. The main point of the Michael Jordan Maybe It’s My Fault commercial is: “No excuses – you have to struggle and work hard in order to succeed.”

3. There are many possible answers for #3.

TIPS for providing feedback:

For this discussion, it may be a little harder to provide high quality feedback. Here are a few tips (you might also have better ideas):

Did the person address all of the questions? Be specific. Do you have a suggestion for helping them improve their response?

Did you see the same main point that (s)he described? How did your answer compare?

You might also want to comment on a peer's response to #3 by highlighting how the personal example relates to Jordan's messages about success or how it relates to an experience that you had or why it is inspiring.
