On Saturday the various chapters from BNI Goa
participated in a cricket championship. Our team, BNI Aparant won all the
matches enroute to winning the championship trophy. It all started with the
resolve to undo the previous year’s lacklustre performance where we did not
cross the league phase.
Indeed, it is important to learn from the previous
effort to note the shortcomings as well as the successes. Team captain, Sujeet
and team mentor, Dinesh decided to do all the right things and make all the
necessary changes.
Foremost was the resolution to hire the services of
a coach, Prashant Kakode. The onus of identifying competencies as well as nurturing
the potential was now in hands of the expert who was from outside. His
judgement was accepted by all as being in the interest of the common good of
the team.
The players were able to build on their strengths
and work on their weaknesses by working to a plan. They put in the extra efforts
that help one transcend the threshold of full on performance. They sacrificed
small pleasures for the greater goal that beckoned.
The non playing members too played a role in helping
out with resources, time and motivational support. Most importantly, members of
Aparant were there to support the organisers as well as other teams. The spirit
of sportsmanship gave further impetus to the winning spree.
All in all, the above factors united to create the
necessary impact: Learning from previous experience, guidance from the expert,
methodical preparation, widening the support base and sporting spirit. The same
factors unite to impact in other spheres of life as well. It is a combination
that increases the probability of winning.
Learn from the past, choose the right guide,
Work
to a plan, widen the support, be sporting in your stride...
When
we allow these to ‘unite to impact’
Surely,
winning will seem so easy to surmount and ride!
