3. “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my
career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-
six 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.” — Michael Jordan
4. A person who never made a mistake
never tried anything new.” — Albert
Einstein
5. “The ultimate measure of a man is not
where he stands in moments of comfort,
but where he stands at times of challenge
and controversy.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.
7. I am inspired by people who feel enthusiastic
about their job, their life, or their family, and
who convey their enthusiasm and good
energy to me. Being with people who are
passionate about what they do makes me feel
good, and they are an example to me. They
inject their enthusiasm and prompt me to
make my best efforts too.
8. I am inspired by someone who is capable of
pointing out possibilities that I had not considered,
that I thought were unattainable, or that I never
dared to dream of or expect. This inspiration is
powerful and works as a major driving force of my
development and growth.
9. I am inspired by people who believe in me and
make me feel worthy, accepted, and approved.
People who, if I make a mistake or if things don’t go
well the first time, can point this out with a sense of
“it didn’t go well this time” or “you will do better
next time.” I am most inspired when people trust my
ability to learn, change, and improve!
