I have a reputation for being a straight-talker.
Basketball isn't my job.
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.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.
Better a thousand times even a swiftly fading, ephemeral moment of life than the epoch-long unconsciousness of the stone.
Winter is dead; spring is crazy; summer is cheerful and autumn is wise!
There is a world-old controversy that crops up whenever women attempt to enter a new field. Is a woman fit for that work? It would seem that a woman's success in any particular field would prove her fitness for that work, without regard to theories to the contrary.
I could imagine, some number of years from now, starting my own company. But not yet. Not for a while.
