He was my idol growing up in San Francisco. I got to meet him as a very young boy and played catch with him at Crocker Amazon Park. I told my son and daughter about Willie and they became fans long after his playing days. Knowing how much Willie meant to me they wore number 24 on their baseball and softball teams growing up. I think that he had a bit of an influence on them both as they now play baseball and softball in college. They both were impacted by his passing and shared that with me tonight. Willie was one of a kind. Thanks Willie!

One of the nicest guys of all time! Rode my bike by his house as a kid, he always had a Giants cap on, always said hello. Forever Giant!

When PAC Bell Park changed its name to AT&T Park, I attended an event that brought together Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey and then manager Felipe Alou. Willie Mays was gracious and spent some time to chat with me. To this day it is one of my most precious memories. Thanks for all you did to make the national past time exciting for all the kids who grew up watching you play the game.

When I heard the news, I felt sad. I loved watching Willie Mays in my youth, and going to the Stick to watch him play. Would have loved to see him play in his prime, but that predates me. At the crossroads of what LinkedIn Reaction I would select became clear as I was reflecting as far back as my memory serves me. “Celebrate” The amazing life of Willie “Say Hey Kid” Mays! RIP Willie! 🧡🖤 #RESPECT

Hey Tod: Long time-no-see. I lived in Belmont with my family during my middle-school days, often attending games at Candlestick Park, watching both Willie's (Mays and McCovey) Juan Marichal (got his autograph) and all the others of that era. Mays had his rookie year (post-Negro-Leagues with Chatanooga) the same year that I was born. Willie Mays was my all-time FAVORITE MLB ballplayer EVER. R I P, Willie. Rob

Success is not failure but part of success.

Yes, greatness is achieved not because of special talent but rather due to dedication, perseverance and commitment. Show me a person with tenacity and persistence, I will show you laurels of successes. Other dogs gave up, but one dog stayed focused, persevered, and won the “meal”. Watch how the dog improved its tactics, as it learned from previous failures. Indeed, failure is not an opposite of success, but part of success. Without those failures, it would not have figured out how to ace the last lap.

Success comes with persistence and determination. Never-give-up spirit is the same spirit most billionaires used. Moreso, consistently doing the same thing makes you an expert.

Iteration is like this. It's hard and tedious but it's exactly how some of us master our crafts. It doesn't make us less smarter than others who figure things out with a spark. It makes us winners, eventually, sometimes. This article is a good resource to help you understand the two key perspectives on creativity. "At what stage of their lives are great innovators most creative? There are two very different answers to this question. Some great innovators make their most important discoveries suddenly, very early in their careers. In contrast, others arrive at their major contributions gradually, late in their lives, after decades of work." Read more at https://lnkd.in/dUPahVfU
