BATTER UP

Albert Camus: "Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present."

The past 'me' is a ghost. The large catalog of memory I have of myself can make me feel like the past me is who I am. But it is no more real than the future me, a fantasy. So why do I define myself by my past and future when the only real me is now! This me cannot be beaten. This me cannot be broken. This me makes the right decisions. This me is ready for whatever pitch comes my way. Businessmen that do not honor this reality can be tricked by topics such as sunk costs. In this case an investment in our past can overwhelm our current decision making ability, working against our best interest in the present. Therefore, experience each moment fully, as though it is all that there is, taking all things into consideration without being swayed by past ghosts or future fantasies, and your best self will emerge.

AMERICA'S PASTIME

Ernie Harwell (Hall of Fame Broadcaster): "Baseball is just a game, as simple as a ball and bat, yet as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport, a business and sometimes even a religion. This is a game for America. Still a game for America, this baseball!"

We all love our country. But what is a country? We could define it simply as the land within defined borders. To this end our love is minimized to rocks and dirt. Ok then, it is where our family resides. But what if our family is on holiday in another country? Does our allegiance shift during those weeks or months? Ok then, so it is an ideal. Yes, it is an ideal. It is what the people have uniformly agreed as a collective character. Well then, when standing for one's country, the opposition includes anyone who endangers the character we are trying to uphold together. Who are we? What qualities are we trying to uphold? Remember that when you say you love your country.
