"勝つこともあれば負けることもある 中止になることもあるがすべてに備えなければならない"
— Satchel Paige
Simplified Meaning:
Life has ups and downs, and not everything goes as planned. Sometimes you succeed, sometimes you fail, and other times things happen that are completely out of your control. Think of a baseball game: sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes it gets canceled because of rain. But the important thing is to always be ready to play. In real life, this means preparing for whatever comes your way, whether it turns out good or bad. For example, imagine you're going for a job interview. Sometimes you might get the job (a win), sometimes you don't (a loss), and sometimes the interview gets postponed (rained out). Even though you don't know what will happen, you still need to get dressed, prepare your resume, and go to the interview. By being ready, you show that you're making an effort and are resilient, no matter what the outcome is. This teaches us to stay prepared and keep trying, despite the uncertain results.
