I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

“I've been having me a PhilosophersNotathon since 6:30 this morning. This is just a fabulous concept and I can't help but imagine that it's going to be a runaway success. It's also proving a mighty spur to some creative thought for me. The film and video business is currently in a downward spiral. I could sit here and blame the economy or I can direct my brain into something more productive. The thinking I've encountered on my site has my brain (and feelings) going into high gear.Thanks for this wonderful gift and for the opportunity to touch base with you. Have a joyous and rewarding holiday season and a visionary new year. Blessings and love, Burt”
“Brian Johnson, Chief Philosopher, is the sommelier of self-development and an exemplar of what it means to be a Creator. His PhilosophersNotes distills the best of the wisdom literature – both contemporary and timeless – and gives his readers a well-researched taste of the essence of each book. Just like some wine tasters go more for chardonnay, while others prefer a pinot noir, the reader is introduced to a full range of Notes so they can determine which ones they may pursue to further their own learning and development. I raise a toast to Brian and his Notes and his contribution to conscious evolution!”
"When he is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something; … he learns his ignorance, is cured of the insanity of conceit; has got moderation and real skill." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
