I read this really fast, as I have found myself in possession of an uncharacteristically large quantity of spare time.

Phil Knight and I have nothing in common.

Except for our inability to make or maintain eye contact.

I love a good story though, and he has plenty.

I do love to know about failures that ultimately led to astronomical success, but all of Phil’s recorded here leave a little to be desired.

He moves to the next one so quickly. He doesn’t give a full or detailed enough account of what he really felt through it.

How bad was it, man?

Which one really did you in?

What’s the lowest you ever were?

Spend time on that part. Graphically.

That’s where this whole “fall in love with failure” philosophy is missing.

I need to know the true severity of it.

Sigh…

And, my gosh, do we even follow comma rules anymore?
