Everyone Makes Mistakes

Have you ever not done something that you knew could benefit you, but was afraid that you might make a mistake or fail ? If your answer is yes, that was a mistake you made in not doing it. Let me share with you a statement that I read today, it was said by someone you all may know.
"I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed."

Some of you may have guess who made these remarks, but if you haven't, it's a person who I considered one of the greatest basketball players in history, Michael Jordan. One thing that is done in making mistakes is the acquiring of knowledge, mistakes is know way the best way, but they do teach something. So don't be afraid to take chances, and always believe in yourself.

Getting In The Zone

Every time I think about individuals like Bill Gates or Oprah Winfrey, I often wonder did they think that they would be in the position that they are now in. I couldn't know, but what I would assume is that they had a strong desire to do and be the best that they could with the abilities that they had to become as successful as they are. I am also sure each of them had set backs and down points in their travel to success and could have gave up at anytime, but didn't. We might can't reach the type of success that these two have, but each one of us can have greater success then what we might think. It begins with desire, you must have a burning desire to want it, a driven passion to have it, and a success conscious mind to achieve it. It is my belief that everyone would love to have a life of success. So what I would would like to instill in you, is to seek opportunities to move toward a more successful life.
