“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. I have been entrusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” ------Michael Jordan, six-time nba champ with the Chicago bulls and five-time mvp

---Wilma Rudolph, three time Olympic gold medalist, track and field “Winning is great, sure, but if you are going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat and on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.”

-----Michelle Obama, Former first lady of the U.S. “There is no magic to achievement. It’s really about hard work, choices, and persistence.” -----Michelle Obama, Former first lady of the U.S.
