On my way home one day, I stopped to
watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a
park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-
base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was
'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered
With a smile.
'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you
don't look very discouraged.'
'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a
Puzzled look on his face...
'Why should we be discouraged? We haven't
Been up to bat yet.'
Now that is the RIGHT ATTITUDE to have!!!
That boy will go far in life......we all need a attitude like that
That, and being on the edge of being in trouble all the time.Quote:

Great story! Years ago when, my son was 9, I coached his baseball team to a spot in the championship game. After we won the semi final game I gathered the boys around and gave them what I thought was a "win one for the Gipper" pep talk. When I finished I asked if there were any questions. One young man spoke up, asking in a serious voice , "Coach, whose turn is it to bring drinks for after the game?" Goes to show you that sometimes we take ourselves way to seriously.
