Jordan, Ruth, and Us

What I have in common with Michael Jordan and Babe Ruth? Great failure, that's what. We all do. Jordan failing to qualify for high school varsity. Ruth growing up in an orphanage.

Giuliani lost his first race for mayor. "The greatest pitchers lose games, and lose badly. There are important skills to be learned from picking yourself up after something goes wrong, to keep moving ahead without letting it throw you off course." He also had to pull out of a U.S. Senate race due to prostate cancer.

We're tired, or ill, or down. It's an occasional reality of life. We take a breather, then get back up.
