Four Leadership Lessons from the Super Bowl (by Michael Hyatt)

I don’t watch much football. In fact, I don’t watch many sports other than an occasional golf tournament. But I watched the Super Bowl Sunday night and enjoyed every second of it. When Plaxico Burress caught the winning touchdown pass with 35 seconds remaining, I came out of my chair. It was a thrilling end to a tense battle.

As I was reflecting on the game Monday morning, I thought that the Giants, particularly Eli Manning, demonstrated four characteristics of all great leaders:

1. They remained humble. I heard an interview with Tom Brady, the Patriot’s quarterback before the game. I don’t remember the particulars, but I remember him assuming that the Patriots would trounce the Giants. Maybe he was just confident. But, as it turned out, he was over-confident at best. I also thought it was telling that Brady didn’t shake Manning’s hand after the game.

Compare the Giants demeanor during the game. The Giants didn’t strut after they scored, like the Patriots did. In fact, Burress knelt in a silent prayer after catching the winning touchdown. I don’t think the contrast between the two teams—and their cultures—could have been more pronounced.

Real leaders are humble. They don’t need to toot their own horn. And, they know just how fleeting and short-lived many successes are. As a result, their first response to a big win is gratitude not strutting like a peacock.

2. They ignored the drift. Before the game, everyone assumed that the Patriots would achieve the “Perfect Season,” winning every game they played, including Super Bowl XLII. By game time, the Patriots were favored by twelve points. By contrast, many people didn’t believe the Giants even deserved to be in the Super Bowl. Certainly, no one expected them to win.

It would have been easy for the Giants to listen to the drift of the media and assume they couldn’t win. No one would have blamed them if they had said to one another, “Look we probably can’t win. Let’s just do our best and hope we don’t embarrass ourselves too badly.” But they didn’t.

Real leaders are aware of the drift, but they refuse to submit to it. Instead, they are internally-driven. They have their own agenda and plans. They shape reality instead of letting it shape them.

3. They focused on execution. I’m sure a game like the Super Bowl is enormously distracting. Lights, cameras, music, tens of thousands of fans—a cacophony of sights and sounds. I’m sure it takes enormous discipline to stay focused on the task at hand. But Manning and the Giants did it. They marched steadily forward. And when they suffered a setback, they took it in stride and just kept playing.

By contrast, the Patriots seemed rattled—even disoriented at times. Certainly, Brady wasn’t used to being sacked. After all, they had not lost all season. They just couldn’t seem to sustain a drive.

Real leaders stay focused on execution. When they experience a setback, they come up with a new plan and keep moving forward. They exhibit extreme focus and discipline—especially in their heads, which is where the game is really won or lost.

4. They played until the whistle blew. The Giants won in the last minute of the game. It would have been so easy to give up. And who would have blamed them? But they just kept driving forward. As long as they stayed on the field, they keep the possibility of winning alive.

By contrast, the Patriot’s coach, Bill Belichick, walked off the field with one second remaining. Sure, losing was almost certain at that point. But, evidently, he hadn’t seen the Trinity University play in the final two seconds of their game with Mississippi Millsaps. They completed a pass and 15 laterals to win the game.

Although there was only one second left, anything was possible. For example, the Giants could have fumbled. But, Belichick walked off the field before the whistle blew and sealed his own fate. As a leader, I think it also sent a terrible message to the team.

Real leaders stay on the field until the whistle blows. They keep possibility alive and play hard. The Giants were a model of this, and they inspired everyone who watched, including me.

In the end, it is clear that the Super Bowl wasn’t about natural ability or momentum. It was about leadership. Manning was the better leader, and that’s the real reason the Giants won.

MANEUVER CORRECTLY

The captain of a battleship was sailing his ship on a dark knight. He saw a bright light on the ocean heading straight for his ship. Tha captain established radio contact with the person flashing the bright light saying,

“You are on my way; please change your course 20 degrees.”

The response came quickly, “Advise you change your course 20 degrees.”

The captain started to lose his patience. “I am a captain, you must change your course.”

The other end answered, “I am a seaman second class, you change your course”

At this point the captain raised his voice ordering, “I am a battleship, do as I say”

The response was brief, “I am a lighthouse.”

Good food in early childhood improves adult wages: study

PARIS (AFP) - - Poor children given a nutritional boost during the first two years of life earned adult wages nearly 50 percent higher than peers deprived of a food supplement, a study has shown Friday.

Previous research has pointed to a link between improved nutrition in early childhood and higher productivity later in life, looking at indicators such as body height and performance in school.

But this is the first direct evidence that eating well as an infant and toddler translates into greater earning potential as an adult, according to the study, published in the British medical journal The Lancet.

About 200 million children in less developed nations pay a terrible price for not getting the right foods when aged one and two, the period when nutrition is most critical for future health.

Iron and iodine deficiencies, for example, can lead to stunted growth, poor cognitive development and energy-sapping anaemia. Such handicaps prevents children from realising their full potential.

The study, led by John Hoddinott of the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington D.C., analysed data on 1,424 Guatemalans aged 25 to 42 who grew up in four villages in the same region.

The children in two of the villages, enrolled during the 1970s in a nutritional supplement programme, were given a daily serving of a nutritious central American hot beverage called atole, made from corn meal, water, brown sugar, vanilla and either chocolate or fruit.

The children from the other two villages, living in virtually identical conditions, were given a less nutritious food supplement.

When Hoddinott and his team compared the two groups two and three decades later, they were startled by what they found.

The adults who had eaten the atole as tiny tots pulled in hourly wages 46 percent higher than those who had been given the low-calorie alternative.

Many of the men had jobs requiring strength and stamina, the study noted.

But surprisingly there was no similar divide in school performance or cognitive test scores, and it only applied to men.

Indeed, for the atole-nourished women the results were reversed compared to their male counterparts: the females showed improved reading skills, but very little economic gain.

The difference was explained by fewer economic opportunities for women, many of whom became homemakers, the researchers said.

The study provides evidence that there are economic, and not just humanitarian, reasons for making sure very young children are adequately fed.

"Improving nutrition in early childhood led to substantial increases in wage rates for men, which suggests that investments in early childhood nutrition can be long-term drivers of economic growth," they conclude.

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!

Make a personal reflection about this.....

Very interesting, read until the end.....
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women who mocked God :

John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain.

Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966).

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.

Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died .

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you."

He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

The man who built the Titanic After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.

With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it"

The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic .

Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus".

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment .

Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
"Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell".

On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit .

Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:

"My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full"

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.

The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken.

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.

In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle .

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive .

"Jesus"

ROSE

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, 'Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?'

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, 'Of course you may!' and she gave me a giant squeeze.

'Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?' I asked.

She jokingly replied, 'I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...'

'No seriously,' I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

'I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!' she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop I was always mesmerized listening to this 'time machine' as she shared her wisdom and expe rience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.

She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.

I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.

Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, 'I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.'

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, 'We do not stop playingbecause we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.'

She concluded her speech by courageously singing 'The Rose.'

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!

These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

'Good friends are like stars.........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.'

MOMENTS IN LIFE

There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
But often times we look so long at the
Closed door that we don't see the one,
Which has been opened for us

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things
You want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweetEnough trials to make you strong,Enough sorrow to keep you human andEnough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until
You let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
You 're the one who’s smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.

Stay hApPy without hurting sOmeBoDy!

Don't count the years - count the memories
