Why did I read this book? Because this is perfect. the text of the book is very fluent, friendly and honest. Phil with his story wants to say starting everything will be hard. but you should just do it. having a good partner is the effective way to develop the business.  Bill Bowerman is the leader and partner of Phil Knight. a sentence in the book is very effective for me. The best way to strengthen knowledge is to share it.

this sentence, there is no finish line is the advertising slogan. I should say that it’s from John Brown, Advertising Director of Nike in 1975.

Jeff Johnson is my favorite character in this book. effort, effort, and effort equal Jeff Johnson
