今までに9000回以上シュートミスをした。300回近く試合に敗れた。26回ウイニングショットを任されては外した。人生で何度も何度も何度も失敗してきた。そしてそれこそが成功の理由だよ。 - マイケル・ジョーダン［マイケル・ジェフリー・ジョーダン］ (1963 - )

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. - Michael Jordan [Michael Jeffery Jordan] (1963 - )
