Title: Confidence
Post by: WMCoolmon on June 20, 2008, 04:30:06 am: Quote
"I'm the greatest batter in the world," said the proud boy
as he tossed the ball into the air and swung his bat. He
missed.

Undaunted, he threw the ball up again and said, "I'm the
greatest batter ever!" He missed again.

He looked at his ball and then his bat. Once more he tossed
the ball up into the air. "I'm the greatest batter who ever
lived!" He swung hard and missed.

"Wow!" he exclaimed. "And I'm an even better pitcher!"

Post by: Asuko on June 20, 2008, 09:39:04 pm: That easily spammed this topic.

Confidence results from the sum of the experiences with others. Talking to people about random stuff while waiting in line is enlightening and confidence building :p
