It Bothers Me That The Average Fan, The Average Sportswriter For That Matter, Pays So Much Attention To What's In A Box Score.

I Believe In A Business Boarding Up Early. If You Make A Mistake, You Put The Boards In The Window Of The Store And Say, "hey, I Made A Mistake." Let Me Take Two Shots In The Arm And A Punch On The Nose And Let Me Get On To The Next Thing. I Don't Believe In Worrying Over Failures. I Worry About Successes. This Is Opposite From Most People. Most People Zero In On Their Failures. I Try To Keep All My Attention On A Pyramid Type Philosophy Rather Than The Averaging-down Philosophy.
