"TO HAVE" OR "TO BE" -- WHICH ARE YOU?

There are two conflicting mentalities in any organization: to have and to be.

People with a to have mentality are obsessed with what they can get out of their jobs: a bigger salary, and all that it can buy; promotions and status; recognition and fame.

People with a to be mentality concentrate on what they can give to the organization: their best efforts to help the team succeed.

From "Finding A Way to Win" by Bill Parcells

LOVING THE RELATIONSHIP THAT GROWS DURING THE SEASON

“I love every aspect about the game of basketball. … The camaraderie of 12 or 13 guys on the team, four coaches and when you are out there on the court, just five against five. You are pushing and shoving and doing whatever it takes to win and whatever it takes to be successful. The relationship that grows during the weeks and months you are with the guys on your team, and trying to get all on one page and then out there on the basketball court.”
