PRESIDENT’S REPORT A MEASURE OF SUCCESS By Beverly B. Price Four years ago when I took the oath of office for AANR President, I intended to hit a home run every time I stepped up to the plate – and I intended to step up to the plate often. Little did I know then that the measure of success in baseball is significantly less than my idealistic vision. Ty Cobb, outfielder for the Detroit Tigers, was the epitome of success in Major League Baseball, earning more than 40 baseball records, some of which stand today. And even his exceptional ERA (Earned Run Average) was a mere .367, about the equivalent of having a 1 in 3 success rate. Does this mean that my analogy of hitting home runs was way off base (no pun intended) and the real measure of success was something greater than 1 in 3? I began to look at the other measures of success that the general public (as well as the AANR public) take to heart. J.K. Rowling, the successful author of the Harry Potter novels, has stated, “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case you fail by default.” I have never been accused of being cautious, so I have not failed by default. George Clooney, American actor, credits his aunt Rosemary with the advice, “Just do it, and be willing to fail, and at least you gave it a shot.” Is that a careless attitude? Not for me. Michelle Kwan’s first coach insisted that she learn to fall before she learned to ice skate. She knew that Michelle was bound to fall many times and that she needed to learn how to handle it. I have dealt with failure even as I have attempted to succeed at everything I’ve done for AANR. Michael Jordan has missed more than 9,000 shots in his basketball career, has lost nearly 300 games. He states, “I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Although failure is not really acceptable for me, I have to reassess my goals every time that I fail and do what I can to turn it into a success. Jack Lemmon, Academy Award winner, once said, “What stops you is the fear of failure. You will never achieve a deeper understanding of your work, or learn the tough lessons if you are liked or comfortable all the time.” For what it is worth, in the past four years I have been both disliked and uncomfortable. Neither has stopped me from learning what I needed to learn. And some in AANR have considered everything I’ve done a failure. In order to make certain that I have given all my constituents their due, I can unequivocally state that if that is the case (and I don’t believe it is) that I meet Winston Churchill’s definition of success: “Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.” I am just as enthusiastic about AANR today as I was four years ago, and I will continue to carry that enthusiasm into the future. I still believe the best is yet to come and we can do marvelous things if we will simply work together to succeed. I pledge that I will give it my best effort.
