Success Is Attributed to Attempts

i was reading some blogs and ran across this. what an interesting perspective. i would like to add one more thing to this. strike-outs were high, but he did not include that there are 3 strikes. think about that as you read this...

You Can't Have Enough Bad Ideas

Get this - Babe Ruth held Major League baseball's career strikeout record from 1926 until 1964. But what gave him such grief also made him the home run king. He swung at a LOT of pitches... and SOME of them connected! You've gotta love that. You can't have too many ideas because some of them will be great ones!

This year has been a year of strike-outs for me. I've asked favors that only got laughter on the phone. Feels like I've had more unreturned phone calls than answered ones. And I've had e-mail requests go completely ignored. The assistant to a very famous ministry leader wrote, "I don't know who this Ben is, but he'd better learn protocol."

Not easy for me, I'll admit. But I'm in good company. Call me the Benbino.
