We've all seen this picture, or at least know the remarkable story that goes along with it. It is the heroic story of how the boy slays the giant. Within this story is the remarkable lesson that no matter what we are dealing with, no matter how big it really is, we too, like David, can overcome what needs to be overcome.
This story is very moving, and very inspirational, especially when you consider that 9 times out of 10 the outcome is very different. You see, what they don't tell you is that really David is the one getting his butt handed to him most of the time anyways.
It goes right along with the old saying "nice guys finish last." Sometimes I wonder why I need to be in the nice guy/David spot. Not saying I'd want to be a big mean ugly giant either... I suppose either way, you lose.
