Michael Jordan Quotes

“I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”

- Michael Jordan

Quote of the Day: Meaning

This quote by Michael Jordan resonates with the readers because he was a symbol of success during his playing days. He says that he knows what failure means and knows how to accept it.

Because it is common to fail at one thing or another, as we humans are not perfect. But what is not acceptable is that you have failed without trying.

If you give up before even starting the challenge, then it’s the truest form of defeat, as you have just surrendered without even trying.

Jordan also meant that while it is easy to dust off failures, the weight of not trying does not leave you. It will show up years later in the form of regret, and the burden of regret is heavier than the burden of failure.

This is the wisdom hidden deep inside this powerful quote.

To conclude, failure is not the opposite of success; not trying is. Facing a challenge head-on is always more worthwhile than avoiding it. Never limit yourself by the possibility of failure, because as long as you are willing to try, you are in the game.
