Something a Little More Inspiring
Source anonymous.
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 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 even been up to bat yet.”

Hi Michael,
Love the way boys see things. They are so open to possibilities in life.
funny – and inspiring. Thanks!
Who’s keeping score on life anyway? Live it full out without a scoreboard.
Good reminder to think like a kid when thinking big! You could do an entire series on “Lesson from Little League”. As a Little League Team mother, I am always touched by their wisdom. Thanks for sharing.
