Two for Five

How do we measure success? I suppose a lot of that has to do with whatever particular endeavor we are engaged in at that moment. Let us say a fellow is an athlete who plays both basketball and baseball. In the last basketball game of the season, he is held to two made shots in five attempts. He and his team probably feel that he did not play a very good game. Baseball season starts and this same sportsman goes two for five in his plate appearances in his first game. He has batted astoundingly well. If he keeps it up all season, he will have batted .400 and be a superstar. In both sports though, he is two for five.
