Post this quote!

Not so long ago, I came across this quotation by Michael Jordan.  I printed it out for my sons, who both play basketball, and one of whom faced some real challenges this year during his high school basketball season.

I found that, beyond basketball, it’s a damned good quotation in general, because it speaks the truth in pretty simple and practical words:

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 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.”

Whatever you want to do has to be done in spite of the fear of failure.

Post it!
