There's a German expresion Shadenfrude which is almost sport to some. It means deriving joy from the misfortune that befalls on others. We go to a race track to see the guy who wrecks his car, not really the winner. It's who many are in the world. I think sometimes it's just the weird part of human nature for many to be so negative.

Hi Blake,

Great reminder – and I love the basketball analogy. This reminds me of my daughter, who, when she started playing on a basketball team, was unsure of herself (even though she was good at home) – and didn’t take many shots. The coach saw that she had a good shot, and even encouraged us, as parents, to talk to her about shooting more. Now, she does, and has become the teams leading scorer. That’s not to say she makes everything. Far from it. Yet, she takes the shots, and that’s half the battle right there – just attempting, and being willing to fail. And because of that she has found great success…
