You Miss 100% of the Shots…

I say a lot of things. Too many to count, really. Sometimes I talk about breakfast. Sometimes I say things about football. Sometimes I say stuff about cats, or penguins. But besides all that, every once in awhile I will say something so wise, so profound that my words will no doubt be remembered for years to come. Inspiring anyone and everyone that happen to cross their path. At that point the words no longer belong to me, they belong to everyone.

Just the other day I said something that falls into that category. I did the math, checked all the facts, and crunched the numbers, and this is what came out of my mouth.

“You miss 100% of the shots you take that don’t go in.”
— Mike Votava

That’s right, I said it. Somebody had to. Feel free to quote me on it. Now that you’ve heard what I said, is your life not changed? Is your mind not blown? I know mine would be if I were you.

Now — feel the wrath of this nifty graphic I made. Bwa ha ha!
