I've missed over 9,000 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.

— Michael Jordan Nike Culture : The Sign of the Swoosh (1998)

Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion

If we all work together, we can foster greater understanding, positive change and create a more peaceful world for ourselves, our children, our families and our communities.

There will be a player greater than me.
