I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed. - Michael Jordan
Inspirational quote of the day by Michael Jordan.
It can be debilitating and demoralising when all the hard work you have put in leads to failure. "I'm a failure", "I'm not cut out for this", "I'm no good" are common thoughts when we encounter failure.
Recognise, however, that failure is a normal stepping stone on your path to achieving success. All successful people have encountered failure along the way.
Think of failure as an opportunity to learn from your mistakes and improve your skills. Each failure you overcome makes you stronger, more resilient, and moves you one step closer to your goal.
Do not let your fear of failure prevent you from taking action. Learn from it, and keep moving forward until you succeed.
Michael Jordan (born 1963) is a former professional basketball player who has been awarded numerous awards and accolades throughout his career and is considered one of the greatest basketball athletes of all time.
This quote is part of a longer statement by Michael Jordan: "I’ve missed more than 9,000 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 was not afraid of taking the shot or of failing. Yes, he had many failures, but because of that, he also had many successes.
