*TEAM SPIRIT*
A business man gets stranded in a lonely highway in the US. The
tyres of his car get stuck badly in a mud pool. He looks around for help and
finally finds an old farmer. This businessman goes to him asking for help to
get his car out of the mud. Farmer gauges the situation, and agrees to help him
and says, let us take the help of warwick. Warwick was an old bull around, but
the helpless business man agrees.
The farmer ties the bull to the car and start shouting loudly,’
FRED, PULL!.. JACK, PULL!.. JOHN, PULL... WARWICK, PULL’. As the farmer keeps
shouting these words, the bull Warwick gets the car out of the pool of mud.
Businessman is relieved but has a doubt in his mind. He thanks the farmer and
asks him,’ you said the bull’s name was Warwick, and he was alone, then who
were these Fred, Jack & John?’ Farmer coolly answered, "See, Warwick
is old and is also blind. He does not know he is pulling this car alone. The
moment he hears the other names, he thinks he is in a team, and he gives his
best".
*MORAL*: So is the case with all of us. The very thought that
there are people to help us blesses us with a great deal of comfort, hope,
confidence and enthuses us to put our heart and soul into any task that we
undertake. Indeed, greatest civilizations have always been built on the
foundations of a greater level of cooperation from their citizens, and the
smartest animals we know — apes, elephants, wolves, dolphins, and crows — tend
to live together in cooperative groups and work together for survival. As
H.E.Luccock said, “No one can whistle a symphony. It takes an orchestra to play
it.” It's not without reason that the very word *TEAM* is said to stand for
*"Together Everyone Achieves More"*.
