Game, Set & Match @ Wimbledon.
Wimbledon fever has gripped most of Britian this last week. And never more so than last night … as Greg Rusedski (GBR) battled it out on centre court against the young Swede, Joachim Johansson. It was an epic battle and a nail biting match to watch as these two sportsmen thrashed it out on the court.
There could only be one winner … and it was Johansson. But what really impressed me was the attitude of Rusedski. In a TV interview later that evening he again held his own and showed the same strength of character that was on display earlier.
He was positive and smiling … and he said that tomorrow he starts preparing for Wimbledon 2006. He focused on what he had learnt in the match and what had gone well. In other words – he saw the experiece as positive – even though he didn’t win!
In life and in business we are constantly growing, learning and changing. And failure is apart of growth. Sometimes the best lessons are learnt through adversity or failure – and it’s our attitude to that failure that determines how we growth and our future sucesses. Businesses place so much importance on success – and while that is obviously a key element – there is also something to be said for failure. It should be celebrated – because it means there is still opportunity to learn and improve!
