I remember reading the first page of a juggling book was: Pick up a ball. Drop it on the floor. Be prepared to do this thousands of times.

Kind of takes the fun out of it eh?

Haha! Excellent quote. Are we talking about life or juggling, or wait, business? ;)

Never gave much thought to my early interest in juggling or the juggling books I read when I was young and how it could possibly be later related to my approach to life and career.

I'm a modest juggler at best, and still young in my professional career in the tech world, but that quote and general sentiment gives me new perspective on how my opinion of failure was shaped growing up.
