TEAM PLAYERS
While watching football and basketball games on TV, I noticed that the true team player comforts the player who failed to catch the ball or to score and encourages him or her. This keeps the teammate from focusing so much on their failure that they mess up the next time too.

Too many jobs, schools, and families foster a spirit of blame and competition, in which the "team" member who succeeds is the one who puts down the others or who, at least, doesn't help them.

A spirit of helpful cooperation and support helps the whole team, whether it's in a game or on a job. Why then do we see so much emphasis on competition within the group? The ones we're supposed to be competing against are the OTHER team or our business RIVALS, not our own people.
