In Major League Baseball, if you can hit for an average better than .300, you will undoubtedly make a lot of money.
Yet stop to consider that hitting for an average of .300 is defined by getting 3 hits for every 10 at-bats....therefore it is also comprised of NOT getting a hit for 7 of those same at-bats.
So explain to me how "failing" more than half of the time makes you worthy of accolades?
Because that .300 hitter never let the failings define them.
When they stepped into that batter's box the next time, they didn't think of the ".700 Non-Batting Average", they only considered themselves to be a ".300 Hitter".
That's not just being a Champion of Results.....but also being a Champion of Perspective.
