TCN Mornings Episode 251 -

Wednesday, October 20, 2021

Hey kids!  Hey parents! 

It's Wednesday, the 20th day of October.  AND...... It is National Youth Confidence Day!  I’m quoting now from the National Day Calendar website: “Building a framework of positive role models is vital to developing responsible, confident young adults. Incidentally, National Youth Confidence Day, on October 20, encourages us to connect and inspire today’s youth for tomorrow’s success.”  Wait a minute!  Isn’t that what we do EVERY DAY here at TCN Mornings?  Well, at any rate, welcome into National Youth Confidence Day!!

AND... if today, happens to be your birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you! 

Someone else who was born on this day was a man named Mickey.  What? 

NO...I said a MAN, not a mouse...Come on!!  His name is Mickey Mantle, and you know when I was your age, Mickey Mantle was REALLY big stuff in baseball!  He was one of the greatest baseball players of all time.  His story is called The Mickey Mantle Story, and it starts right now.

So, did you notice it started when Mickey Mantle was a kid.  And not just a kid, a LITTLE kid.

Now, does that mean if YOU start seriously practicing baseball (or whatever sport) as a kid, YOU will become one of the GREAT athletes someday? 

Well, maybe.  But maybe not.  Some people’s natural talents ARE in sports.  But for most of us, that’s not the case.  HOWEVER, there IS SOMETHING that you CAN be REALLY REALLY good at. 

Something that, if you discover what it is and develop it, it will serve you well!  So, keep your eyes and ears open.  Look for what interests you and learn all you can about it. Look for those things you are good at doing.

Develop your talent to the best it can possibly be.  Then use that talent to help yourself, your family, AND (and this is important, too!) Use your talent to HELP others.  And you, too, can become a hero! Oh, and this being YOUTH CONFIDENCE Day... there
