Teamwork

A man is driving along a dirt road when suddenly veers off the road and gets stuck in a mud pool.  He looks around for help and finally finds an old farmer. He goes up to the farmer and asked for help getting his car out of the mud.  The farmer looks at the situation, and agrees to help him, and says, “let’s let Warwick help us.”  He looks over into the field and sees that Warwick was an old bull.  With no other options, the man agrees. 

The farmer ties the bull to the car and starts shouting loudly,’ FRED, PULL!.. JACK, PULL!.. JOHN, PULL... WARWICK, PULL’. As the farmer keeps shouting these words, the bull Warwick gets the car out of the pool of mud. The man is relieved but has doubt in his mind. He thanks the farmer and asks him,’ you said the bull’s name was Warwick, and he was alone.   Then who were these Fred, Jack & John?’ The farmer coolly answered, "See, Warwick is old and is also blind. He does not know he is pulling this car alone. The moment he hears the other names, he thinks he is in a team, and he gives his best".

MORAL: So is the case with all of us. The very thought that there are people to help us, blesses us with a great deal of comfort, hope, and confidence. It encourages us to put our heart and soul into any task that we undertake. The greatest civilizations have always been built on the foundations of a greater level of cooperation from their citizens, and the smartest animals we know — apes, elephants, wolves, dolphins, and crows — tend to live together in cooperative groups and work together for survival.

As H.E.Luccock said, “No one can whistle a symphony. It takes an orchestra to play it.” It's not without reason that the very word TEAM is said to stand for "Together Everyone Achieves More".
