Libi: I love baseball. I love going to the
stadium. Picture this scenario. The bases are loaded and its the ninth inning.
There are two outs. Your team is down by one run. The pitched ball is thrown to
the batter and you hit the ball and it goes 390 feet. It looks like a home run.
Your team is going to win the game. Suddenly a gust of wind blows the ball one
inch into the foul zone, one inch flying past the poll in the foul side. One
inch to the right and your team would have won the game. But it went one inch
to the other side of the pole. Success
and failure was based on one inch.
In the business world being successful or failing can be noticing
and being able to read the market and acting in it. One day longer can change
everything. Constantly ideas come across us everyday and we do not even notice.
The successful person learns to sensitive to what the market will desire.
There is a story of the Swiss watch market that controlled the watch
industry. In their own marketing and research, their own people came out with
digital watches in the 1960's. The Swiss watch company didn't want it. They
thought people only want watches with moving hands. They let their own
employees go to a Japanese company and sell their digital watch idea. I'm a few
years the Swiss watch company that once controlled the watch industry lost
almost the whole market.
They had the idea but they could see the future. They let it go. They
could have been a great success with
this idea, instead they were became a huge failure.
Successful
people learn to
sense and see the ideas of the future. Helen Keller once said , Libi, " there is nothing as sad,
as one who has eyes, but still can not see."
