"persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement."

Matt biondi

what Matt is saying in this quote is that we shouldn't give up on something you always try even if you fail you should just get up and try again. if you keep trying you will achieve something but never give up because that is just showing that you really don't care you fail the first time you are not going to try no more. for example gabby Douglas is a gymnastic and she was good at it but there was a point when she just said i want to quit but she never did cause she got back up and back to gymnastic and she had finally achieved and she is now famous and won the champion in 2012.
