W.O.W. Wednesday

Every at-bat will not always be a home run.

  
When we do things we should always strive for the best. When we fall short of that goal we must also learn how to adapt and react. Just because you were aiming for that home run and ended up with a double, have faith that your teammates will be able to finish what you started. Trust in your crew is important. But I order for you to have faith and trust in your team you must build a team worthy of your trust.

 Peace,
Sincere

W.O.W. Wednesday

Define success for yourself. There will always be the standard definition of what success or being successful is but that is just a broad general description. Success should be defined individually. What you deem as success may not always apply to someone else. Success to one may be a big house on the hill, 2.5 kids, a dog, and a luxury car or SUV in the garage. While to another success could be simply being able to take feed and clothe their family.
There is never a clear, concise answer to what success really is. Define it for yourself. Once you've defined it, achieve it.

 Peace

W.O.W. Wednesday

I'm starting something new. Usually drop words of wisdom here and there and I'll still do that but I think I'm going to dedicate wednesdays as W.O.W. (Words Of Wisdom) Wednesdays. You'll probably see some other type days popping up soon as well. Anyway, here's your W.O.W. For today:
Every loss is a lesson.
Every time you lose or fall short of your goal is an opportunity to learn what you did wrong so the next time you're faced with that situation you'll know how to become victorious. Remember, you're still a winner if you learn from your loss.

 Peace,
Sincere

The Lost Art of Sportsmanship

Lebron James is a sore loser. Point blank. Period. The lack of sportsmanship that he displayed at the end of the eastern conference finals is inexcusable. The problem is, he's not the only one. Just the most recent.
I have noticed this trend lately in professional sports. The art of sportsmanship is lost. The "high 5" line is long gone. That's when at the end of the game both teams lineup single file and "high 5" each other or commend them on their game on the way to the locker room. Professional atheletes seem to have forgotten or left that part out. Sure, I still see it in soccer and hockey and occasionally in baseball but football and basketball? Forget it. They speak to the people they know and leave. Although I did witness it at the end of the Denver/Los Angeles series.
Growing up I played sports and I was always instructed to do the line. Win or loss. If we didnt do it then we would be in trouble at the next practice. That goes for fundamentals too like backpedalling after scoring so that you know what your opponent is setting up. I think with these pro athletes not doing the fundamental things along with displaying poor sportsmanship, it sets a bad example for the kids that look up to and emulate them. They begin to believe that it is okay and that they can act this way which will lead to another generation of self absorbed sore losers.

 Just my thoughts...
