Knowing that I tried my best will lead me to success. I believe that failure is a stepping stone to get to the next level. It’s harder to skip all the steps and then have instant success. The only way you would be able to bypass failure in the early stages is to be talented. With talent, you will need to work hard, but not as hard as the average person to get where you want to be. The definition of success to me is achieving your goals, not someone else’s. Success can be viewed as a vacation. The failure involved is the planning part and everything before the actual vacation. In the end, it will all be worth it if you really wanted to go on the vacation to where you planned. The definition of success applies to me on the basketball court.
