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.’
