It took me many more years to recognize that I couldn’t win at everything. Abraham Lincoln lost elections before becoming our great president. Henry Ford went bankrupt before creating the automobile company that bears his name. Babe Ruth failed to get a hit the majority of times he came to the plate. Michael Jordan missed as many shots as he made. If those at the top of their profession don’t win in everything all the time, I think it’s safe to say that neither will we.
