Fail to succede
The greatest basketball player of all time was once asked what made him so successful. Michael Jordan then replied " ... I fail, therefore I succeed". This theory not only applies to those who fly, but also to mortals. When one fails the bitter taste lingers forever, whereas, when one succeeds the sweetness makes all pain worth while. Sports are life, and in West Texas sometimes more than that. In all my life I have always been on the starting team, no matter what team it was. The reason for this is because I hate to fail. In my life I hate only two things, the word hate happens to be the other. I refuse to let my talent be wasted on the sideline, so I work hard so I will be a starter. Baseball is my favorite sport, and I happen to be very good at it. My junior year in high school I played left field for Midland Christian. I had what others might call an average season, but for me it was very poor. I felt I let my team, fans, family, and my uncle/coach down. This feeling of disappointment stayed with me all summer. I lifted weights and went to camps all summer long, but I never got rid o . . .
This is the only thing that makes life worth living. The bitter taste was finally overcome by the sweet feeling of success. It felt good to know that I was a vital part of that team, but the bitter taste from the year before still lingered. I also learned very quickly how important friendship, trust, honesty, and Christian values are to me. I am also learning what I cannot stand in a girlfriend. Each girl I dated has been a huge failure. I also made all-district, and all-state honors. I also raised every other statistic I had tremendously. I was very disappointed in the grade, and myself. Hard to believe, but I have dated my fair share of girls in my life, and I have learned one thing form them all. History 1302 at Midland College was a very easy course for me. I have failed in school many times; one instance was my first college class. At the end of the season I raised my batting average by over 200 points, and reduced my errors from seven to one.
