Malcolm Forbes on failure

If you don’t know what to do with many of the papers piled on your desk, stick a dozen colleagues’ initials on ‘em, and pass them along. When in doubt, route.

If you have a job without aggravation, you don’t have a job.

By the time we’ve made it, we’ve had it.

I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is precisely why I succeed.

Michael Jordanborn 1963

Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Michael Jordanborn 1963

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
