When Success Takes Teamwork

Well, he did it! Michael Phelps accomplished his goal of eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympics.

The greatest part about his success? Three of the events involved a team of four swimmers. Each of the four had to do their part in order for Michael to achieve his goals.

One of the team events was won by .01 of a second. How astounding!

I am sure that Phelps is aware he did not win these medals by himself. I read that the team was strong this year and it shows in the results.

No one should ever think they can accomplishing anything in life by themselves.

Sometimes it may feel like we are all alone, but the world around us is still working on our behalf.

What have you accomplished as an individual that, in all honesty, took a team to help you reach your goal? Did you appreciate the effort of others, or did you feel like you were on your own?
