Perseverance

Wasn't last night's Red Sox game a great metaphor for life?

When all seems lost, if you just keep plugging away, every now and then, the tide slowly begins to turn, good things start to happen, momentum swings your way.............and you win!

I have always wondered how people who are not athletes, or even sports fans, get that feeling or learn the lessons that sports teaches. I guess they must, but I don't understand how.

Actually, I think the most important thing sports teaches us is that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, and no matter how much effort you put into something - you can still lose. But, the next day you're back at practice, trying to improve and get ready for the next game, or the next race.

How can that not help us get through the difficult times that life throws at us?
