	This quote came into my IN box this morning and I just had to share what a fellow team member wrote: "My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging." -- Hank Aaron, baseball star And it got me to thinking... Much of what we do is like being a professional athlete. Well, maybe not on a physical level.. But in terms of achieving success they are virtually identical: The more we practice and the harder we work, the better we get & more handsome our payoff. Did you know that famous baseball celebrities like Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth not only had the highest HR records, but they also held records for the highest number of OUTS, too. Why is that? That's really something to think about. It's because everything in life revolves around the law of averages. In order to be the best, you have to do the most- strike out again and again, and amidst the failures come those big home runs. The more home runs you have, the more outs you'll rack up, too! So what separates the star athletes from those who put their heads down and head for the benches? They SWING FOR THE FENCES every time and they don't let the strikes and the outs stop them. So you strike out with a prospect. So what? There's no pain involved in getting a "no" -except maybe a little injury to your pride. But seriously folks, if you weigh your ego with your bank account, which one weighs more? Yep. Me too. That's why I've kicked the Ego to the curb and I get back up to the plate to swing again, knowing that it's just a matter of balls before I score the next big homer. Take a lesson from the baseball greats, and swing for the fences every time. You've gotta have the most "outs" if you wanna have the most home runs! To your best success! --Kitt In Madison, WI

	Thank you loely Mary and thank you Kathy. This is so true. i'm sure there are some baseball nuts who will write in with something on this as Hank's homerun record is about to be broken (too much controversy involved for me to comment on). What I will say is that this man is the sweetest, most courteous and humble man in the world! He married one of my sorority sisters when I was in college so we all felt special by association:)
