Now I am not talking about liquid courage. If you could not fail, what would do? Skydive, swim with sharks, drink the water in Mexico? It has long been said that the fear of loss is greater than the desire for gain. I truly believe this. The fear of loss or failure can be crippling. In the position that I am in presently, I am a having to make choices that will determine the direction of my career. Should I take the safe option, the option with training wheels, or the option without a safety net?
When you think of the greatest baseball player of all time, what is the first name that pops in your head? I am guessing it is Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth hit a amazing 714 home runs during his 10 year career. A record that still holds in the American league, and is in the top 5 all-time. What is interesting is that Ruth also struck out 1,330 times. Ruth wasn't worried about striking out, he simply kept swinging for the fence. What a great life lesson.
