Random Quote

It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? for the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop. Growth is exciting; growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind.
-- Vita Sackville-West

Baseball

 

Everybody's heard of the proverbial "home run." It's where someone succeeds to a degree that by any measure, it was more than a hit.

I have my own system of scoring the baseball metaphor.

Strike: no sales.
Foul ball: you're selling, but you're still losing money.
First base: you're making money on the deal. You're in the black, but it's not enough to make your living doing it.
Second base: you're making your living from it.
Third base: you no longer worry about money.
Home run: your kids no longer worry about money.

Batter up!
