"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."

So you were fired once. Go back to camp and get higher.

That is a great quote, thanks for sharing JR.

A great quote, yes. Unless you want my uncle's take on it (BTW, he taught at a Big 10 university): Don't drag your a## in misery, pick it up off the pavement and do something with it! (Of course, before he got his PhD, he was a Marine!)
