 In baseball, batters (like lifetime batting average record holder, Ty Cobb) are considered great, even when they fail to get a hit in more than six out of ten at-bats. Like you made clear, every successful person (and everyone else for that matter) has some failures in life. You have to look with genuine honesty and integrity at where they stand right now (on the actual verifiable successful/unsuccessful scale), as well as (in Trump's case) the long string of astounding successes he achieved in the past (versus minimal failures), and refuse to deceive yourself, or to allow others to deceive you. |
