Re: Dealing with disapointments
Akash - From being around the block in your area a while I really have to commend you and Mort's leadership for their accomplishments this year. You guys are really a lot of fun to watch and are really a complete team.
Your story sort of reminds me of my time on Team 87 in 2002. We were regional finalists, won some awards, and earned our way to Championships. We got down to Epcot, performed well but didn't make it past alliance selections for finals despite our prior resume. What I learned that year was that (1) you shouldn't discount your accomplishments and (2) learn from the experience. I've been "let down" many times but the experiences are really what it's all about.
