LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 04:  Owner Mark Cuban of... 



 This is a great post by Mark Cuban on Motivation. I really hate dislike the Dallas Mavericks but this post by Mark is worth sharing. I hope it can motivate you in your time of need.

Success and Motivation - You only have to be right once!

"In basketball you have to shoot 50pct. If you make an extra 10 shots per
hundred, you are an All-Star. In baseball you have to get a hit 30 pct of the
time. If you get an extra 10 hits per hundred at bats, you are on the cover of
every magazine, lead off every SportsCenter and make the Hall of Fame.
In Business, the odds are a little different. You don’t have to break the
Mendoza line (hitting .200). In fact, it doesn't matter how many times you strike
out. In business, to be a success, you only have to be right once.
The point of all this is that it doesn’t matter how many times you fail. It
doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know
or care about your failures, and either should you. All you have to do is learn
from them and those around you because…
All that matters in business is that you get it right once.
Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are." Mark Cuban
