"When you start to think you've got this game figured out, that's the beginning of your downfall," Williams said. "You are constantly learning, whether it's on the scouting end, the player-development end, the mental aspects of the game, the thought processes of various people, the psychological, the management skills, dealing with the media. Once you start to think you have all the answers, you won't be employed for too long."
Ken Williams, the general manager of the Chicago White Sox impresses me with his attitude. His team won the word series last year and is a contender to repeat this year. These words are universal to any field of endeavor - you are either learning or stagnating - not that there is anything wrong with choosing to stagnate.
If you believe that everybody should march to their own drummer, then you are a major part of the problem. What if we choose to dance to the violinist? Or rumba with the cymbols? It may not be efficient, but to what end is efficiency used to justify very inefficient methods? To be is of the essence, but not to be can be easily arranged. Why must people who choose not to be, be because of some other persons hypocritical oath? Stop the nonsense of sovereignty - vote for anarchy, but don't vote. Take responsibility for what you do. You might want to go howdt and build a baseball team like Ken Williams. Might not. Attitude reflects aptitude and determines altitude. Right on dude. Gnarly
