"Baseball is like driving, it's the one who gets home safely that counts"
- Tommy Lasorda
About this Quote
This quote by Tommy Lasorda is a metaphor for life. It suggests that success is not figured out by how rapidly or how far you go, however by how well you handle to get to the end. In baseball, it is not the team that scores the most runs that wins, however the team that gets home securely. Similarly, in life, it is not the individual who has the most cash or the most possessions that achieves success, however the person who has the ability to reach their goals and live a delighted and fulfilling life. The quote motivates us to focus on the end outcome, rather than the journey, and to strive for a safe and effective result. It reminds us that it is not the speed or the distance that matters, but the ability to reach the destination.

"I'm a very lucky guy. I had so many people help me over the years that I never had many problems. If I had a problem, I could sit down with someone and they would explain the problem to me, and the problem become like a baseball game"
