Athletics: statistical paradox...
20/07/06 20:47
Consider the following: It is estimated that only one
or two athletes out of a hundred make a total
commitment every time he steps out on the field of
battle. You may or may not be that man. Percentages
would tell you that your chances of meeting that kind
of athlete would be slim. Yet, if you do not put out
100% every time you hit the field, you will meet him,
because he will find you and put you on your tail
every chance he gets. It works like this- If you are
part of a team that only hits HARD every eleven plays
of so apiece, and he its hard EVERY play, he has
beaten you by himself. He has a many hard hits as
your whole team, and he has demoralized you. He has
inspired his teammates and now they are knocking you
down too. You are one of ninety-nine and one has
beaten you. Of course, you could always become the
ONE...
