Thursday Morning Thoughts 11/05/09

After a great nights sleep I am up early and I guess I should have been ready for this day. Last night the New York Yankees won their 27th World Championship in their brand new stadium. For the next several days, you will not be able to go many places without hearing mention of this World Series or the Yankees winning it all again. Over the course of Major League Baseball history, the Yankees have been home to some of the greatest players to ever play the game.

When you take the time to look at all 27 of the titles for the Yankees, you may see some individuals that standout to you, but it was really a team effort to accomplish the task. In Major League Baseball the Yankees have the most World Championships than any other team. How is this even possible? This is possible because of a collective effort of the players, coaches, and front office.

Individual success is great, but is only one person responsible for their success? There is teamwork involved in so many aspects of our lives from professional to personal. Recognize the power of working together and realize the things that can be accomplished individually and collectively. Together we have the opportunity to make a difference in this world.

I am ready to start the journey and was wondering if you would be willing to join me.

“Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”

-Henry Ford

“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.”
 
“When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.”

-Joe Paterno

“There is no such thing as a self-made man. You will reach your goals only with the help of others.”
