Make a Good Run for the Pitch
We used to believe that hitting a pitch is all that matters and if you don't hit a home run, you'll be fine because more rounds of pitches will come your way. No sirs, not true. Whether you're into college or professional baseball or softballs, there are only between seven to nine innings. And that's exactly in life as well. Those opportunities will never be UNLI. And when you keep missing a homerun, before you know it, pressure is building up too much till you succumb from it, because of it. If there is a common culprit in all our misses in life, it is pressure that pushes us to eventually breakdown and succumb to it.That baseball diamond is the best analogy to our life. And I always compared the three bases we need to cover before hitting our homerun to our phases in life, namely, schooling, working and family phases. So, it's safe to conclude that life's phases can't be compartmentalized. They are not akin to the missile silos which are to each its own. You fail in your schooling, it could shape your remaining phases, and so with your work and family life phases.We all have those visions in life to succeed and etch our own mark but that's a long road to take and it takes a journey of a lifetime no less. And the biggest challenge is to piece together the various phases of our life because they are all intertwined.Oh I plucked out this poster from somewhere to accentuate that life is more akin to baseball than to a 42-kilometer marathon. Unlike in a marathon wherein you can have pit stops every step of the way, baseball offers you three bases to cover before you go for a homerun. Going back to our lives, if you fail in your schooling, then you fail in your family relationship and you further fail at work, you're out, it's GAME OVERSo, what's our LIFE 101 ? It's pretty simple. Succeed in your schooling. Succeed at work and succeed in your family relationships and you'll be good to go for a homerun, barring a freak thing that will cause you to hit a snag. So, what's our lesson ? MAKE A GOOD RUN FOR THE PITCH and that can guarantee you to have a cinderella finish as long as you don't end up with a fumbling act every step of the way. LET'S GO FOR A HOMERUN, folks❗❗❗No one size fits all. That explains why we're here, to share my 2-cents where it's worth it.
