Does anyone remember Michael Jordan commercial? You see him striding through the back hallways of the stadium where he was a part of the world champion Chicago Bulls basketball team.  And then you hear Michael say, “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my life.  I’ve lost over 300 games.  Thirty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot … and missed.  I have failed over and over again in my life.  And that is why … I SUCCEED!”

In essence, Michael was saying, “It’s okay to fail.  It’s not okay to give up.”

I went all the way to Hocking Hills, OH just to capture the beauty of autumn foliages. I also hiked for 6 miles and indeed that was exhausting.
