What’s the price for Success?
SUCCESS ! ! ! What a great word it seems.. yet how many people out there can achieve it.. especially working with a big group of people.. stuNNed~ hahah okay.. There’s only two situation right now.. hahah "Those who don’t realise the price of Success" OR "Those who know the price but are not willing to pay it". Well, I assume that you don’t realise the price of Success. [ i hope !!!] Below are the prices need to pay for SUCCESS - if you choose to be one.
Sacrifice
There can be no success without sacrifice. He would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much. When you become part of a team, you may be aware of some of the things you will have to give up. But you can be sure that no matter how much you expect to give fir the team, at some point you will be required to give more. That’s the nature of teamwork. The team gets to the top only through the sweat, blood, and sacrifice of its team members.
Time Commitment
Teamwork does not come cheaply. It cost you time - that means you pay for it with your life. It takes time to get to know people, to build relationships with them, to learn how you and they work together. Teamwork can’t be developed in microwave time. Teams grow strong in a Crock-Pot environment.
Personal Development
Team will reach its potential only if you reach your potential. Or to put it in another way, we cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are. That desire to keep striving, to keep geeting better, is a key to your ability, but it is also crucial for the betterment of the team. It’s what u learn after u know it all counts.
Unselfishness
People naturally look out for themselves. The question "What’s in it for me?" is never far from their thoughts. But if a team is to reach its potential, its player must put the team’s agenda ahead of their own. Some people see the big picture more easily than others do and realize that they will receive more if they give more. For others that is more difficult - especially if they already have a track record of high achievement. BUT the THEORY is "When you give your best to the world, the world returns the favor." And if you give your best to the team, believe it or not, it will return more to you than you give, and together you will achieve more than you can on your own.
Certainly there are other prices individuals must pay to be part of a team. You can probably list several specific ones you’ve paid to be on a team. The point is that people can choose to stand on the sidelines of life and try to do everything solo. Or they can get into the game by being part of a team. It’s a trade-off between independence and interdependence. The rewards of teamwork can be great, but there is always a cost. You always have to give up to go up.
