"Never let the fear of striking out get in your way."
-Babe Ruth
I like this quote because it basically says don't be afraid to fail. It reminds me of the poster in Ms. Brant's room that says you can't possibly hit the ball if your thinking of all the ways you can miss. I can relate this to my life because sometimes I am afraid to fail and I don't want to be like this. A good example of this is in basketball I may not take a certain shot because what if it misses? Well what if I make it and it's the game winning point? You have to think of it in the positive "what if." You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Plus, it is a positive risk. Shoot it anyway and risk that you will miss it. So what if you do? Make the next one. And it's just like that in life, so what if you mess up or make a mistake? You learn from it and do better the next time, but the point is that you went for it, you risked it, you tried. Nobody, including yourself, can ever ask for your absolute best. Always do your best in everything you do, and don't worry about making mistakes and the rest can fall into place.
