Wednesday Wisdom: "I Never Missed One In My Heart."~ Bill Klem (veteran major-league baseball umpire) He made this statement upon his retirement in 1941. It was his way of assuring his detractors and admirers, that every call he ever made was to his belief right. Now this expression is used as a profession of sincerity and not just in the sports world.
I found it in my word phrase origins book when I was looking for some bit of wisdom to write about today and it stood out to me as "wonderful." I thought about this man for a while. He like so many worked in a job that most would envy. Yet, at the same time there were many people who more than likely argued over many of the calls he made. When it comes to sports, or any any career there is going to be people who are the best! Just like the Coach of the Indiana Colts said, "There can be only one winner at the end of the season." So for my "Wednesday Wisdom" what I believe is this:
It comes down to you. Believe in yourself and do the best that you can everyday. If at the end of the day you can look in the mirror and say that "you never missed one in your heart," then I believe you had a pretty good day!
Enjoy your Wednesday! Keep it bubbly! xox~ Jeri
