Re: Clash of Objectives.

The way I feel about the subject is as follows. I want to win. We want to win. First and foremost, I want my team to do its very best to push the limits of what we can achieve, and strive for greatness. That involves everyone on the team putting in incredible time and work, learning new skills, and getting new experiences. We continually improve, refine, enhance, augment our process, our robot, our way of thinking, and our conduct in pursuit of victory.

We are all captivated and amazed by what we can achieve in such a short time, and what our true potential is when we work hard, REALLY hard. That's inspiring. And the most efficient motivation we have to push ourselves so hard is a thirst for victory. The blue banners in people's signatures and hanging on shop walls didn't come from uninspired people just plodding along, they came from people who desired victory and chased it and never stopped. Blue banners are not a celebration solely of winning, but of success achieved through the means of inspired people coming together.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince Lombardi
