When we think of basketball, the very first name that might come to the minds of a layman would surely be Michael Jordan. No doubt the guy was the top notch NBA all-star who broke numerous records in his basketball career. But perfection is not a god gift. He had to earn it in his life long career after years of tedious efforts in his profession.
He was once quoted saying - “I’ve missed more than 9000 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.”

He never surrendered in his career. He failed multiple times but in the act he always embraced those failures as a lesson. Success is inevitable only if you are never losing your hopes.
