“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” - Michael Jordan
This quote really influenced me. Everyone is going to fail at something in there life. You have to learn how to accept failure. In the long run you will grow from it and you will know what you did wrong the first time and will try a diffrent way the next time. Failure is not meant to put you down it is meant to help you overcome obstacles that get in your way. If you don't try you will never know the feeling of failing and when you do fail you will feel worse than you would if you would have tried to begin with. I have learned that when I fail at something it is just a way to make me stronger. I have learned to forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set me straight for my next success. And when facing failure it's not whether I get knocked down; it's whether I get back up and try again.Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something. Failure is success if you learn from it. And I have learned that failure is the first step to success. And by learning from failure it gave me the motivation to not be afraid of it.

I think this is a great description on this quote. It's a very meaningful quote and it shows that even people extremely skilled at something aren't afraid of failing, and they try as hard as possible to do the best they can.
