Re: Exploring The 'We're All Winners' Concept
When I saw the topic of this thread, I burst out laughing. True confession time:
At my very first FIRST championship (1998 at EPCOT) we were sitting way up in the stands just before the closing ceremonies, and I said to the team (SPAM), "How long do you think it will be before someone says 'We're all winners'"? It was about 5 minutes; Woodie said it, and our whole team let out a loud, simutaneous "YES!" There was high fiving and fist pumping, then we realized we were getting more than a few strange looks. Oops.
UTC held a breakfast the next morning for all the corporate teams and the same question was raised. True to form we didn't have to wait long. This time we just giggled for the rest of the presentation.
Since then, I have never been disappointed. Someone always comes through at every competition. And we just look at each other, look at our watches, and nod.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. You're all winners.
