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. - Michael Jordan

Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere. - Barack Obama

There is a well-known rule of warfare: Advance with bayonet; if you encounter mush, proceed; if you encounter steel, fall back.... If we bet and hit a wall, we need to start sensing that there is a wall there, instead of trying to deny it or otherwise rationalize it away. When we feel something solid up ahead, stop trying to push through. We cannot win at poker until we correctly perceive these signals. - Larry W. Phillips
