Michael Jordan says: “Failure has always made me try harder the next time. That’s why my advice has always been to ‘think positive’ and find fuel in any failure. Sometime failure actually just gets you closer to where you want to be. If I’m trying to fix a car, every time I try something that doesn’t work. I’m getting closer to finding the answer. The greatest inventions in the world had hundreds of failures before the answers were found.”
