“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
-Michael Jordan (Professional Basketball Player)
Michael Jordan acquired the reputation for being the greatest basketball player of all time. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009.
Although Michael acknowledged the numerous times he met failure on the court of his professional sports life, his passionate attitude propelled him into a league of his own.
How many of us have given up on our first few failures? Facing failure constructively means we don’t give in to failure but revs us up for improvement. As you begin your day, “be like Mike.” Recognize failure, build on EVERY failure that comes along and be SUCCESSFUL in whatever you attempt.
