On failure

My banker has this Michael Jordan quote on his bulletin board.

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.

I love that. Reminds me of Ernest Hemingway:

The first draft of anything is shit.

Success isn’t getting it right the first time. It’s trying again. And again. And again.
