A lesson from baseball

I feel bad when I lose an appeal. If you feel the same way, consider this reflection by Stephen Seckler, posted at Counsel to Counsel, about lessons learned from baseball:

Baseball teaches us that losing is the norm. A batter who gets a hit one out of every three times he is up at the plate is considered a superstar. A team that wins ten games in a row is on fire. Winners are not individuals who “win” all the time. Winners are individuals who know how to get past failure.

“I feel bad when I lose an appeal”.
Why should you? What is an appeal, after all?

Appeal in law is to put the dice into the box for another throw. —Ambrose Bierce, 1842-1914
