Gabby
Douglas made a name for herself at the recent Olympics in London. She proved her skills again and again on the
balance beam.
I
imagine Gabby lost her balance a time or two before she became a world class
performer. She practiced an age-old rule
of thumb:
“To find
your balance you have to lose your balance.”
Wayne
Gretzky, Ice Hockey great, was famous for what some termed “foolish skating” in
practice, but he did it so that he could find the limits of his abilities and
keep pushing them out. He would lose his
balance so he could find it.
We
say this another way:
Fail again … Fail Better!
Fall
down – rediscover your balance, stand up and try again.
A
simple principle – for life.
