Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 6/4/12
June 4, 2012—Issue #141
This week’s focus point: John Santana recently pitched a no-hitter for the New York Mets, the first in their history. He did it with the help of a blown call by the third base umpire, who ruled a clearly fair ball (and base hit) to be foul. But that is the way of the world. If we work hard, do our best, and keep trying, we tend to draw some breaks and good luck. It’s a no-hitter in the record books, no asterisk, no retraction. In life and business, we sometimes get lucky, receive the benefit of the doubt, but the harder we work, the luckier we get. If you want breaks and good fortune, don’t just wait for them, work diligently at what you do and they will come. You can’t get any breaks if you’re not in the game.
Monday Morning Perspective: If you ever got good you’d be mediocre. –James Thurber
