Winning Attitude

There is an old story about a happy little boy who went out into the field wearing a baseball cap. In one hand he carried a baseball, & in the other a baseball bat. His face bore a look of tremendous confidence.


Cocking his bat, he tossed the ball into the air, saying, "Im the greatest batter in the world!" Then he swung & missed. "Strike one," he said.


He picked up the ball, examined it, & then threw it into the air again. As he swung, he repeated, "Im the greatest batter in the world." Once again he missed. "Strike two," he said.


This time, he stopped to examine his bat to make sure there wasnt a hole in it. Then he picked up the ball, adjusted his cap, & tossed the ball into the air for the 3rd time.


He repeated again, "Im the greatest batter in the world," & swung with all his might & missed for the 3rd straight time. "Wow" he cried, "What a pitcher. Im the greatest pitcher in the world!"
- Moral of the story? He had a winning attitude, he just needed to change his perspective.

    Alternative moral of the story? The poor kid needs to get some friends.

    Moral of this story? You can fool some of the people, some of the time, but it's easiest to delude yourself!

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.

        I'm not here for anyone else, I'm here for me. I think we'd make a good team.
