An All-Star In Baseball Fails 7 Out Of 10 Times

80. An all-star in baseball fails 7 out of 10 times.

If you have a .300 batting average in baseball, you are most likely an all-star and if you end your career with this kind of average, chances are you are headed to the hall of fame. To have a .300 batting average in baseball you must get 3 hits for 10 at bat. This means 7 out of 10 times you will have failed. Failure is the highway to success and failure is learning how to win. When you start to understand that the process of failing has a direct correlation to winning, failure doesn’t hit you as hard as it may have before.

There are a ton of examples of people who failed in the world and it was their perseverance that helped them succeed in the end. A famous story that many of us have heard about is the one involving Walt Disney. Mr. Disney was rejected for his ideas over and over again. If he hadn’t kept swinging his bat, we wouldn’t have the happiest place on earth. When a baseball player gets a hit, he tries to identify what he did with that swing that helped him succeed. When a hitter strikes out, he heads back to the bench and has some time to reflect on where he went wrong. What is for sure is that he will live to swing the bat for another day. You must continue to show up at the ballpark and take your hacks for the fences. There are times you will hit a homerun, there will be times you strike out. There may even be a time you get hit by the pitch. But one thing is for certain, you will never get a hit if you don’t step up to the plate.
