STEAM UP OR TEAM UP !!!

Talking about “Teamwork” and not narrating this story would leave the discussion incomplete.

        Once, a businessman, on his way to a sales presentation was passing by a rough road, where his car fell down in a ditch. He somehow managed to come out himself but couldn’t take car out of the ditch.

He saw a farmer and an old mule nearby. He went up to the farmer and asked the farmer if he could use his phone to make a call, the farmer said he doesn’t have a phone, the man then asked if he could drive him to somewhere where phone is available, the farmer replied there is no vehicle either.  The man got furious and said, “How am I going to go now my car is stuck in that ditch and I can’t even call anybody for help”. The farmer said, “Don’t worry, my mule “Jack” can take your car out”. The man looked at the farmer and said, “How would an old mule pull my car out of that ditch!” The farmer said, “yes he can, just see”.

The mule was taken where the car was and it started pulling the car. The farmer then cried out loud, “Come on Jack pull it out, come on ‘Cezar’ pull it, pull it ‘Rodey’, pull it ‘Jontey’ pull it pull it !!!

And the mule (Jack) pulled the car out successfully. The man in amazement said “WOW, that was awesome; an old mule pulled my car out of the ditch!” The farmer said, “See I told you Jack can do it”. The man then asked the farmer out of curiosity that why the farmer was calling out the other names (Cezar, Rodey, Jonty) along with Jack, the farmer then told, “My mule Jack is blind actually, it thinks the others (Cezar,Rodey,Jonty) are it’s team mates and it puts in his efforts thinking itself as a part of the team and succeeds”

So dear readers, just the thought or feel of being a part of a team makes a lot of difference. If we talk about teamwork towards the progress of our country, we don’t have to join any group or a union or a community or any party to work for our country, we just have to have the feel of being a part of this country and give our 100%. We all know our own set of responsibilities which we should be fulfilling on our own. 

The progress of Pakistan is the mutual goal of all the citizens and the citizens are the team members of the country who should work towards achieving the mutual goal. You just have to develop this thinking that you are one of the team members of this country and are supposed to play your roles as effectively as possible.

Remember, “What did you do for your country” would also be one of the questions you will be answerable to God for. So don’t think if is somebody is not following the country rules or littering around or bribing and not being penalized here, would not be penalized hereafter also… no it is not so…. You will be accountable for everything that you are supposed to do as a citizen.

Just like every player of a cricket team works hard to be “The Man of the Match” which ultimately results in the success of the team because every member had tried his best, you are a self elected team member of this country, so if all of us work out towards becoming the “Citizen of the country”, our efforts will ultimately result in the success of Pakistan in all grounds.

Here aresome interesting videos about teamwork, do have a look at them and witness that “Synergy can do Wonders”
