                     Failures are wonderful opportunities to learn and evaluate life intensively. Failures give strength to succeed. Those who have succeeded in life would have faced so many failures from which they drew inspiration to fight back.

"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."
