Braves Take Another Series

Braves will be selling Nike Air Max City Connect sneakers, starting May 11. Doesn't really catch my fancy. 

Braves take 3 or 4 in Washington to make their record 18-8, ten games over 500. The best record in baseball. In his MLB debut, rookie pitcher JR Ritchie did something no other Braves pitcher had ever done - after the Nats leadoff hitter hit the first pitch for a HR. 

A couple of Yankees pitchers are lobbying the team to start wearing their navy batting practice jerseys as an alternate jersey in some games. Say it ain't so. Up to now the Yankees have been the only MLB team to not wear an alternate jersey. Is nothing sacred? 

Hate missing Meghan's play. We'll watch the Hawks and NFL Draft. 

After the gym this AM, I took my car through the carwash and cleaned out the inside and trunk. Going to a concert at symphony hall.   

Habits of Quiet Winners, by Tim Denning. Not sure who he is, but he's got a blue check by his name. More so than usual, I edited Tim's list into more of my own words. 

1. They know they can't be an expert about everything, and don't try. It's okay to reach out to others who know more about something than me.

2. They don't care about looking like a winner. It's too exhausting. They have better things to do than making sure everyone knows how smart they are. 

3. They ask more questions than they give out answers. No one has all the answers. If you are talking, you aren't learning. Better to ask questions and see where the conversations lead. 

4. They give the credit to others. By staying out of the spotlight they can attract more good folk into their lives.

5. They can make fun of themselves. They don't take everything so seriously. Helps break the attention. 

6. They don't flaunt their success. All the numbers - followers, bank accounts, degrees, etc don't matter as much as the feeling they receive from working to make something good happen again.

7. They dress normally. Not super fancy, but not like a bum. They blend in - because they don't want to stand out. 

8. They don't do media, because Fame can be a nightmare. They like peace and quiet, time with friends and family.
