Success in Balance

I was reading a post on Success and Motivation over at Blog Maverick, The Mark Cuban Weblog and was struck with a thought that I have had many times. Here is one quote from the article:

In Business, the odds are a little different. You don’t have to break the Mendoza line (hitting .200). In fact, it doesnt matter how many times you strike out. In business, to be a success, you only have to be right once.

One single solitary time and you are set for life. That’s the beauty of the business world.

So in business you can be a success even after failing many times and I think the same is true in life, to a point. In order to have a successful marriage I need to show my love for my wife in many ways. Many times this works and often times I fall flat on my face…just ask her But the bottom line is I keep trying and I keep looking for new ways to show my wife that I love her. This also applies to my kids and other areas of life as well.

So to a point success in balance is also failure in balance. The key is to keep trying and keep learning. After reading Mark’s comments I feel a bit more adventurous, a bit more willing to take an educated risk.
