Optimistic Loser

Here's a commercial I just saw on TV, entitled either "Optimism" or "Greatest Hitter in the World." The kid is *self-pitching* the baseball in the air, trying to hit it, all the while chanting that he's the greatest hitter in the world. After three straight misses, he gives up and looks glum, then decides that he's the "greatest pitcher in the world." So is this the lesson to teach kids? "Can't succeed? Just give up and change your goals; a 180-degree shift, a re-setting of the bar, and everything's A-OK again. No need to KEEP TRYING to succeed at your goals, just change 'em." ????? More of the PC loser attitude that can drag America down from greatness, bit by bit-"it doesn't matter what you achieve or don't achieve, what really matters is how you feel." Lame!
