Never let the fear of striking out get in your way. – Babe Ruth
I think this tends to hang me up in sports… fear of going for a kill shot sometimes in racquetball, fear of going for a ‘clean’ in observed trials. It used to be true for dating women when I was single. It might be true now for risking conflict with friends. I’m not sure when it’s true in my career/entrepreneurial life, though. I assume that it must be, so I’d better pay more attention.
