Michael Jordan on failure

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.

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