Discouraged?

Posted by kathavarta on August 30, 2008

As I was driving home from work one day, I stopped to watch a local little League baseball game that was being played in a park near my home.

As I sat down behind the bench on the first-baseline, 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.”
