September 4, 2014 “I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” This inspiring quote is said by the best basketball player to ever play the game, Michael Jordan. This quote means a lot. It means by failing it teaches you all the ways not to do something. It makes you know the crippling feeling of failure and you never want to feel it again. Lastly, it pushes you to never want to fail again and makes you better from the inside out. The key to failing is not to except but to use it and let the feeling inside of you eventually explode and you succeed. When you succeed you never feel better. Everyone has that defining moment in their life either where they break that wall of innocence or get a big shock from a lavish lifestyle where failure becomes recognized. My first real failure, where i just felt like i have failed myself, my family, my team. I was on fifth grade football squad and we were unscored upon and undefeated throughout our entire season. We were playing a team we beat 24-0 in the regular season and thought we would win without a contest. We winded up losing 24-14, ending the perfect season. I never felt worse in life, I blamed myself and thought to myself if i would have ran harder or made that tackle we would have won. After awhile i just stopped letting that particular incident bother me and i made it motivate me to hate losing and never accept failure. The main point is to never accept failure but to use it as boost, as motivation to only get used to winning. Failure is a part of life and it happens to everyone, but its up to that person to just let it swallow them or break threw go after it again and succeed. How are you going to let failure affect you?
