SgtMajs Takeaway - FAILURE FAILURE IS THE LINE OF LEAST PERSISTENCE Are you a Ty Cobb or a Max Carey? Every baseball fan knows that Ty Cobb was one of its greatest players. His record for stolen bases stood for years. Cobb stole 96 bases the year he set the record. Ask baseball fans if they know Max Carey, and most of them will shake their heads and ask, Who was Max Carey? In one season Max Carey attempted 53 stolen bases, and succeeded 51 times, an unbelievable 96 percent. Ty Cobb stole 96 bases the year he set the record, but he tried 134 times. That is only 71 percent. Cobb was willing to chance failure, and because of it, he became legendary in the baseball Hall of Fame. Max Carey, who played it safe time after time, is not remembered today. FAILURES CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THOSE WHO THOUGHT AND NEVER DID, AND THOSE WHO DID AND NEVER THOUGHT. S/F SgtMaj
