Summary

This quote highlights the notion that progress and growth cannot be achieved without taking risks and leaving one's comfort zone. Just as in baseball, where a player must let go of their safety on first base to try to reach second, individuals and organizations must be willing to take risks and embrace uncertainty in order to move forward and achieve success. Staying in one place, clinging to familiarity, will only hinder progress and limit potential opportunities for growth and advancement.

Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years.
