Fail Your Way to Success by Josh May
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games, twenty-six times I’ve been asked 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 Jordan.
When Thomas Edison “failed” in thousands of attempts to invent the light bulb, he didn’t quit. Each time he burned out a new filament, he learned something and got closer to what would work. Babe Ruth and Henry Aaron struck out far more than they hit homeruns, yet what are they remembered for? Their successes, of course. Ask what their approach was after having lost a battle at the plate, and they would likely tell you that they analyzed what had just happened, to be better prepared and achieve their desired result the next time.
“The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.” Napoleon Hill. To be continued in an upcoming issue of SNEWS.
