Sometimes I am a fan of the underdog in sports. But this year, my admiration for what Tom Brady and the New England Patriots did this football season was extremely high.
Great is fun but perfect is phenomenal and you only get one shot per lifetime, generally.
I watched some of the New England Nationally televised games to see if they could do it. They could and they did. 18-0.
I tuned in, like many, on Super Bowl Sunday to see history happen. Instead we all watched perfection turn into defeat. To me it was a sad moment that seems to linger even into today.
In business I’m a BIG fan of those who are focused. People who achieve something so spectacular that it goes down in history are rare indeed in this life.
The chance was there for New England in the fourth quarter, but so was time. Eli Manning was in the grasp, but escaped and threw the Hail Mary pass of a lifetime.
He connected and went on to make football history himself. Eli Manning and this upset will likely go down in the records as perhaps the greatest win ever for the New York Giants.
The take away for small business is success is something that is intoxicating and exhilarating.
But I’m sad to say that I was like many out there who really tuned in to see the records shattered. It was and it was nowhere near perfection.
How did the Super Bowl make you feel? The comments are open.
