the value of mistake

Speaking of mistake, many people may change color right away. That's because even one tiny mistake can make a great difference, leading to failures.Exactly as an old saying goes, a miss is as a mile. Not only are afraid of making mistakes but also they hardly allow the existence of mistakes. The hatred they hold for mistakes is no less than that for dreadful monsters. Still, I have to say, it is not always the case that mistakes does nothing but harm. As a matter of fact, mistakes are far from unworthiness.

To begin with, we make mistakes because we are not good enough at certain fields. Carelessness also accounts for errors. Hence mistakes teach us lessons and enable us to find out what our shortcomings are, whether it is impatience or poor practise skills. Only having a complete understanding of yourself can you choose the right direction to improve. The key of making progress lies in making sense of things you don't know before. Mistakes serve as motivation and encourage us to step into a higher level, getting closer and closer to best. But funny thing is, during the same period, mistakes remind us that we are never perfect. As long as we feel proud and stop being strict with ourselves, mistakes hit us in the head with a brick, sneering at our stupid.

All in all, try to make the fullest of mistakes. The value of mistake is hiding there, awaiting you to explore.

Palmer is the greatest.

Jim Palmer pitched a shutout in Game 2 of the 1966 World Series, the youngest hurler in Fall Classic history to toss a shutout.Sidelined with a torn muscle in the back, Palmer was making his second start since returning when he squared off against Chuck Dobsonand the American League West Divison's second place A's before a crowd of 16,826. Palmer, who had gotten off to a fast start earlier in the season, had a 10-2 record for the Orioles, who were leading the AL East.

When he faced the Oakland Athletics Wednesday August 13 at Memorial stadium, Jim Palmer had just come off a 41-day stint on the disabled list five days earlier. While Palmer breezed through the A's lineup, the Orioles scored freely. Don Buford tripled to left-center and scored on Blair's sacrifice fly leading off the first.

Palmer was especially sharp in the early innings. He struck out Bert Campaneris leading off the first, retired Jose Tartabull on a grounder to short, then after walking Jackson, struck out Sal Bando.Relying mostly on his crackling fastball, Palmer needed 142 pitches to record his gem. He struck out eight and walked six, including major league home run leader Reggie Jackson three times.

Palmer is the greatest 'situation' pitcher I've ever seen. He makes them beat him on a single and one run at a time. Most of the homers he gives up are solos because he only works to their power when the bases are empty.
