Pay attention to the TV commercial in which Michael Jordan says:
" more Than I've missed 9000 shots in my career.'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. "
translate:
" I've missed more than 9000 launches in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. In 26 cases entrusted me with the pitch that decided the match and missed. I've failed over and over again in my life ..... And it was successful. "
you ask .. what ésoooo? How can you succeed, having made so many mistakes, jopeta?. It does not say Michael is the amount of games he has come to play in your life or field goal, because then the number of failures that could have made considered the product of a paltry percentage rate operation, did a 2% error perhaps?.
any case, the subject of reflection I wish to raise here has more to do with learning from the mistakes that the number of times committed. And of course, the message of Michael Jordan is, in my view, very rich.
Take a practical case: I sign up for the first time in an individual 501 Open (despite the nerves and lead partner) and I do this gala event exquisite and varied ranges of faults and errors that become parties to me in a genuine display of shit hellish house brand. I can even get to amaze me myself with the quality of some of them. Frustrating, so .... I'm in for any tournament!. And then I go and I wonder how many bumps you gained by competing with the balance before jump-start?, One or another safe, and I think in the opening ceremony to mark the placement of the first bump on your forehead the rest decide to go crawling of your life, so you able to walk. How many scribbles llegastes
painting before learning how to write your name on paper? How many errors cometistes to get to use the mouse and surf the internet? How many darts hit in the black and the wall before embedding in the target or the number you wanted ?
Then we will agree on the need to go bad shots before enjoying the sweet success to achieve the goal we have set. Renounce the attempt for fear of failure is not well served to expand your opportunities to success, and success for me can be the fact of being in fourth place in a tournament involving 30 players of similar level. There will be the first time, my mistakes are my best teachers, both in the field of darts as in life itself. Being aware
to commit, knowing their origin and correct them with the experience, I provide security, the failures of yesterday I have helped you succeed today and certainly more tomorrow.
I'm not afraid to fail, I have no fear of failure and mistakes .... what scares me is not to learn from them.
A hug to everyone s
······························ Note. - I raised this discussion and the example of Michael Jordan on the basis of an article published in No. 13 of the psychology journal Healthy Mind, signed by Dr. Bucay , entitled "Learning from Failures " . For legal issues related to copyright I can not reproduce the article, in fact, the magazine editor refused my request, so I can only recommend that you succeed in your retailer for besides this article, the magazine's content has no waste, and costs just € 1.5
