The NBA finals started last night. I love watching basketball and being from Indiana, I think it is in my DNA. I was thinking about basketball while sitting down to write my blog. The first thing that came to mind was a quote from Michael Jordan that used to be shown in a TV commercial. It is the quintessential quote about second chances:

I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot…and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And, that is why…I succeed.
