I Feel Like a Failure Sometimes

[i]"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]

A turtle only moves forward when he sticks his head out!

@samueltyler2 did the hare know that ?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Tres13 perhaps so, the turtle faked him out, whenever the hare looked he had his head in!

I say something similar when people ask how I got good at juggling.

@Doomflower Ha! I'm sure you're fun to watch now. :)

@irishmolly72 I mostly do it for my own stress relief. It is something to do with my hands.
'Most of us have heard one version or another of Thomas Edison’s famous quote about failure and inventing the light bulb. I’ve just read a version I hadn’t heard before, though I like:'

[quote]“I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.”[/quote]

@irishmolly72
The only people who did not fail are the ones who do not try
There has always been said there is no reward without risk I feel that way I can be My Own Worst Enemy and I know it I think most of us are that way
Also believe we can be our own biggest critic
We need to praise ourselves more for some of our compliments instead of worrying about our failures

MJ was out of this world. I’m thinking back to the Bulls incredible run in the 90’s but he had other important parts like Scottie Pippen for example

If you have never failed, you will never truly succeed

If you can, plz read (google) Lincon's failure in life.
You will be amazed.
