One,
the best team won. Two, the football game itself was a bore.
The commercials and half time kept me
watching it. Why did the Baltimore Ravens win the game? The team walked
their talk. They put action into the words they spoke. They worked like
a unit, a team wanting to win, especially their defense.
The Baltimore Raven’s defense is one of
the greatest defenses around. Why? To me they are a well-balanced group:
men working together to win—and they did just that.
Here’s a quote from Dave Murphy, a Chronicle
Career Search Editor: “The Baltimore Ravens are in the Super Bowl today
because they follow a workplace principle that many bosses and employees
overlook. They emphasize their strengths far more than they try to overcome
their weakness.”
If we have feelings and don’t express
them in the right way and don’t control them, how are we to act on our
feelings? We are paralyzed. This is why Baltimore won. They knew what
they needed to do about their feelings and emotions about the game.
They acted upon them appropriately and won. This is a good object lesson
for you and me.
