I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career

“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.” – Michael Jordan

Absolutely 100% reason why people should never ever give up. Regardless if you fail over and over again, it just doesn’t matter. Most important thing in life is to go after what you have in mind. If it doesn’t work out, keep trying until you make it. However, it also depends on what you have in mind. Sometimes, I believe some things don’t workout so they can lead you to something else. It’s easy for Jordan to say this quote because he made it. But, there are millions of people that just never made it after trying and trying.

Never Give Up

The key point in life if something doesn’t work out, is to move on to something else. Keep trying until you succeed at something regardless if its something different than what you had in mind.

In my Counseling class in College, we learned that most people change careers many times. Some students change a career every other year and after 6 years they’ve had 3-4 career changes. My point in this is that they never gave up even when they may feel like they wasted time with one career. As long as you try you will always find something in life and the opportunities are endless.

Just to Say

Sometimes it might just be easier to give up on something to move on to something else. For example, if boxing doesn’t work out and you keep trying and trying, you may end up with serious health conditions. So, just saying that sometimes it’s better to give up depending on the circumstances of your career.
