We all enjoy cheering for our team. Whether it be be football, basketball, cricket, baseball, american football or even dominoes, there's nothing we love more than shouting from the stands or coaching our players from the living room or bed room. Some of us may never making to the locker room of our favorite teams but that doesn't stop us from being glued to the tele while they're on and calling out plays or substitutions as we see fit. We know the players more than they appear to know themselves. We recall with much ease the score from the last ten games they would have won/lost and the unfair calls the referee called against us. Despite our unbridled passion there are a few things we can learn from our teams. For instance the NBA Playoffs started off with great fanfare and excitement. Everyone had their teams lined up to collect the Championship trophy. But we all know how that famous scientific law goes "whatsoever can go wrong, will go wrong" and that appears to be the case for some teams that have "gone fishing".
Ten things I learned:
1. The better team does not always win.
2. The underdog does not always lose.
3. The true strength of a team is in its weakest player.
4. The person who calls the shots is not the one who makes the shots.
5. 48 minutes of play can equal to two hours in real time
6. The team with the most points always win.
7. Results come via preparation, perseverance, luck and chance.
8. No one likes to lose but those who have appreciate winning that much more when they finally
do.
9. No matter how hard I shout at my television, they will never hear me.
10. Losing brings a certain perspective and reflection that gets lost in the excitement of winning.
All in all we would like to always be the winers in everything we do but as the old adage says : you win some and you lose some".
P.S. I'm backing Miami Heat.
