He could remember making thousands of baskets, but he could also remember the 26 times he had the shot to win a match and he failed. And he said, without that, you never do the rest. And I do, you know, Wayne Gretzky, who I met in a New York restaurant actually a few months ago. Fantastic bloke. I had a great chat with him. Greatest ice hockey player in history.
Famous for the quote, you'll miss 100% of the shots you never take. I have gone through my entire life with that attitude. Just have a go. Have a go. See what happens. Sometimes it's been spectacularly successful. Sometimes it's crashed and burned.

Literally deep breath, however bad it is, whatever it is, I count to 10. And at the end of 10, okay, now crack on. There's nothing you can do about it. There's nothing you can do about it.

I mean, look, all the things that people know that have happened to me, I've had moments when I've lost big jobs or whatever it may be. They always seem worse to other people than they do to me in the moment, I would say. I just literally do the count to 10, whatever it is. I just think short of death or terminal illness, everything is recoverable from. It's entirely down to you.

I do think mental strength is the number one thing that you can have to succeed in life. Look at Donald Trump, right? That guy has got the thinnest skin in history. He'll react to absolutely everything. But he also has a thicker skin in that he can take stuff that no other politician has ever taken and keep pounding forward. And I love the scene in Rocky in the sixth film.

When he's got the spoiled brat son, he's in his 20s, who hates being Rocky's son and moaning and whining. And he's just a spoiled little brat. And Rocky eventually has it out with him in the street. And he says, listen, life is not a bunch of flowers or something. He starts, he says, it's not about how hard you can hit. Life is about how hard you can get here. Get back up and keep moving forward.

Keep pounding, right? Because something will happen. But if you don't have the right mental attitude to when negative stuff happens to you, you're not going to be able to exploit the good stuff when it comes your way. I remember Kelvin McKenzie, the infamous but brilliant editor of The Sun, the only editor I ever worked for, actually.
