Red Sox win - what can we learn

Considering the fact that MYNIPPON is based in the Boston area, it is no surprise that our whole team is a fan of the Boston Red Sox. So today is a special day for all of us as we celebrate their historic win.

There were not many who doubted the talent in the team. They have consistently played so well that they almost made it to the top but didn't, and that is why the whole thing related to the 'curse'. But what are the lessons about life for us to learn from the remarkable story of Red Sox:

1. The power of teams. As one person is rarely, if ever, responsible for the win of the team, one person is similarly not responsible for a loss. It is what the team makes it happen.
2. The importance of giving credit to star performers. Not everyone in a team is an equal performer. So while recognizing the overall power of the team, it is important to give what is due to the star performers and it should come from other team members, team leader, fans, and everyone else who is related.
3. The power of positive thinking. Never give up hope because when you do, everything comes to a standstill and you rot. And this is true not only as an individual or as a team but also as an external entity. For example, the Red Sox die-hard fans never gave up on them. They never switched loyalty and always gave their support to the team which motivated them even more.
4. Life is full of happiness and sorrow. Rare is a case when life is only about happiness or only about sorrow. You will have both. So celebrate when you experience moments of joy and stay optimistic when sorrow comes.
