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.
Success isn't something that just happens - success is learned, success is practiced and then it is shared.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up.
