POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE
I am reminded of the story of the little boy overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, baseball cap in place, toting ball and bat. He was heard to say, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world.” Then he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it and missed. “Strike one!” Undaunted, he picked up the ball, threw it into the air and said to himself — “I’m the greatest baseball hitter ever” and he swung at the ball again. And again he missed. “Strike two!” He paused a moment to examine his bat and ball carefully. Then a third time he threw the ball into the air. “I’m the greatest hitter who ever lived,” he said. He swung the bat hard again, missed a third time. He cried out “Wow — Strike three — what a pitcher! I’m the greatest pitcher in the world!”
