How do you look at your accomplishments?

A little boy was talking to himself as he went into his backyard, baseball cap in place and carrying a baseball and a bat.

"I'm the greatest hitter in the world," he said proudly.

Then he tossed the ball in the air, swung wildly - and missed.

Undismayed, he picked up the ball, threw it up in the air and said to himself, " I'm the greatest hitter ever."

As the ball descended, he swung at it again and missed.

He paused for a moment to examine the bat and ball carefully, then once again he threw the ball into the air and said, "I'm the greatest hitter."

As the ball came down, he gave another mighty swing and missed.

"Wow!" he exclaimed. "What a pitcher!"

Last April, CSFB's three talented winners of the birthday card contest were notified of their achievement, two of whom were able to come into the office in person to pick up their prizes. Nechama Leventhal is about to go into grade 6. And Timia Johnson is going into grade 8. Congratulations to all.
