No matter how good of a ball player you were, you can’t keep going forever. You’re not going to be able to hit .300 when you’re 60. You still look around and you think, ‘This is weird. Have I missed something?’ Well, yeah, you have.

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.
