Nicely penned by someone.......I like the narrative.
I watched a local football match in a school playing ground. As I sat down, I asked one of the boys what the score was. With a smile, he replied, "They are leading us 3-0".
And I said, "Really. I have to say you don't look discouraged".
"Discouraged", the boy asked with a puzzled look. "Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle, I've confidence in the team and the managers; we shall definitely overcome".
Truly, the match ended 5-4 in favour of the boy's team.
He waved at me gently, with a beautiful smile as he left; I was amazed, mouth wide open; such confidence; such beautiful faith.
As I got back home that night, his question kept coming back to me - "Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle?"
Life is like a game.......
Why be discouraged when your final whistle has not sounded?
The truth is that many people blow the final whistle themselves......
But as long as there's life, nothing is impossible and it is never too late for you....
Half time is not full time...
Don't blow the whistle yourself.......
Tailpiece.
Ronaldo and Messi.
(Arguably, the two best current players in the world) disappeared from the World Cup without taking their teams to the quarter finals.....!
The leadership lesson is simple.
You can take your organisations to a level with your brilliance but it's only a Team that can make you a Leader and a Winner!!
Brilliant leaders cannot make a team succeed but only a bunch of committed, capable people with a purpose, higher than personal glory, guided by a humble leader can make a team, a winner!!!
