“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
Michael Jordan is the greatest Basketball player of all
times. He failed so many times before he became successful. But the bottom line
is that he became successful in the end.
Most of us have the wrong mentality about success. We assume that it’s
supposed to be easy, without obstacles, without disappointments and setbacks
but that’s not possible. The truth is success takes passion, patience and
persistence.
Michael must have gone to bed feeling so bad for the missed
shots. I can’t imagine the devastation that comes with feeling like you have
let other people down, especially when they trusted you.
He however woke up the next morning and trained harder just
so that he can become better. His passion for basketball gave him the strength
to keep going in the midst of failure. Otherwise he would have ended up to be an
ordinary man, and not a legend. He would have become one of those people who
stop trying because they think that life is unfair.
What would you have done?
Let me guess, you will start feeling sorry for yourself,
then stop trying. You will think that life is unfair to you or maybe you have
bad luck. Ultimately you will leave it all together then settle for mediocrity.
Do you really want to be successful? Then;
1.Don’t quit
Most people fail because they
give up in the face of failure, just before they succeed. But if you Keep trying
no matter how many times you fail, you will definitely make it.
2.Learn from your mistakes
Always learn from your mistakes, don’t
dwell on them just take the lesson and move on. What you learn from the
previous failure is what will help you in the next attempt.
3.Stay positive
Believe in the
beauty of your dreams by staying positive and surrounding yourself with people
who encourage you to achieve your goals
4.Find your passion
When you do what you love there
is no amount of frustration that can make you give up on it. It’s that passion
that will keep you from giving up whenever you fail.
Life doesn’t get easier, nor forgiving but the more times
you fail, the more resilient you become and the closer you get to succeeding,
so whatever you do don’t quit.
You can cry about it, and feel as bad as you
want to, but Keep doing it. Try to always do it better than before, be creative
and most importantly learn from your mistakes.
