“When baseball great Ty Cobb was 70, a reporter asked him, “What do you think you’d hit if you were playing these days?”
Cobb, who had a lifetime batting average of .367, said, “About .290, maybe .300.”
The reporter replied, “That’s because of the travel, the night games, the artificial turf, and all the new pitches like the slider, right?”
“No,” said Cobb, “it’s because I am seventy.”
Now that’s believing in yourself!” ~ Jack Canfield from The Success Principles
HAH!!! That’s *so* cool.
As Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.”
What do you REALLY want in your life?
Do you think you can?
