Of course if you hit .400, your son-in-law will freeze you in a vat of
liquid nitrogen when you die and sell your DNA.

One of my favorite analogies about performance comes from baseball.
In baseball, if you bat .200 (4 out of 20), you're in the minor leagues
(unless you're a good pitcher). If you bat .250 (5 out of 20) and you have
decent defensive skills, you're in the majors. That's a difference of only 1
hit in 20 at-bats.
If you hit .250 in the majors, you're not going to make much above the
league minimums. If you hit .300 consistently (6 out of 20), you get a
multi-million dollar contract plus endorsement deals. Once again, the
difference is only 1 in 20 at-bats.
Small differences in performance, huge differences in payoff. Show up for
batting practice.
