“Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.”
I don’t know if I’m late to a party or if this is a new angle on an old idea…
“We ship all of our samples FedEx so I’ll need a contact number as well.”
Oh, and I guess you’ll then have to call to check they arrived, how I like them, and how many you can sell me. Is it so horrible that I just wanted the free sample that you offered?
Ted Williams is considered one of the greatest batters in the history of baseball. He is the last professional baseball player to bat over .400 in a single season (1941).
Dr: “Do you know what it means to bat over .400?”
Me: “It means he was really good.”
Dr: “It means that 4 out of 10 times he got up to bat, he hit the ball.”
Me: “Right”
Dr: “That means 6 out of 10 times he got up to bat, he did NOT. He failed 60% of the time, but he’s still considered the best hitter of all time. And in [68] years, no one has done better. If you tell yourself you have to succeed 100% of the time, there is nothing for you to do EXCEPT fail, because no one succeeds 100% of the time. So maybe you shouldn’t set the bar for yourself so high. Cut yourself some slack. If you can fail less than 50% of the time, you’d be doing better than Ted Williams.”
