You can never fail.


You can never fail.

A crowd roaring your name across a gym, 2,631 voices heard,

You line yourself up at the three point line.

 

2 seconds left on the clock, 4th quarter,

open shot, you take the shot.

 

You miss,

Then you wake up.

 

Failure is the lack of success,

not your end, you can fail in a dream, but you never can fail at life.
