Can Anyone Be A Major League Pitcher?
Alan Shimel has a fantastic post up titled Do they have to grow up? As I read it, I thought of some of the great lessons my dad taught me when I was a little kid and how hard they must have been for him to carry out.

What Happens When Salespeople Don't Meet Expectations?
The game and the news are quickly forgotten and don't impact your life unless you bet on the outcome of the game or happen to be the leading story on the news. When your salespeople focus too much of their time and resources on a large opportunity and it doesn't materialize, you can lose 6-12 months of productivity from them. Not only that, your forecasts fall short, your budget goes to hell, and you could have a frustrated, demotivated salesperson on your hands. The worst part is if you have a long sales cycle, say 8-12 months, and the salesperson devoted most of his time and energy to this opportunity for 8-12 months, it will take an additional 8-12 months before the pipeline will produce new, meaningful revenue.

Waiting for Godot, Greatest Play of the 20th century. Not!
Is there anyone who likes to wait? We live in a society that wants products and services now. We want our answers now. We want everything right NOW! I have started an internet marketing business from home. Do not assume God's silence as denial. He is in no rush and you should not be either because His timing is perfect. What we need to do is ask Him to help us wait on and understand His perfect timing. What is the theme of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot? The attempt to convince humanity to stop waiting for God to present himself and stop wasting time trying to discover the meaning of life. Beckett believes that no matter how long we wait, Godot will not come. And I strongly beg to differ!
