It gave me much pleasure to attend and see the Republic of Armenia soccer team play the Guatemala team and win 7 to 1 on Saturday, May 28, 2016. Also, see Armenia play El Salvador and win 4 to 0, on Wednesday, June 1. Both games were played at the Stubhub Center, California State University, Carson City, California.
I asked myself why did Armenia win and what essential lessons the Independent Republic of Armenia’s Armenian team members were teaching me here in California for me to be a continual and permanent winner? They were showing, telling and coaching me they had become habitual and practiced a few essential habits continually and permanently: 1. they were well trained and had rehearsed well together, 2. practiced mutual and reciprocal: courtesy, 3. respect, 4. gratitude, 5. appreciation, 6. thankfulness, 7. caring, 8. loving, 9. creativity, 10. innovation, 11. observation and diagnosis of the problem, 12. solution of the problem, 13. coordination, 13. cooperation, 14. collaboration, 15. helping, 16. empowerment, 17. enabling, 18. enhancement of each other’s capacity to perform better, 19. interdependence, 20, integration, 21. trust, 22. trustworthiness, 23. win, 24. gain, 25. benefit, 26. profit, 27. success, 28. pleasure, 29. joy, 30. fun, 31. happiness, 32. flourishing, 33. thriving, 34. fulfillment, 35. satisfaction, 36, reputation, 37. fame, 38. celebrity, 39. legacy, 40. new habits, 41. passion, 42. persistence, 43. continual learning, 44. continual improvement, 45. continual growth, 46. continual sharing, 47, continual oneness, 48. continual harmony, 49. continual justice, 50. continual peace, and 51. making the ideal what should be into reality.
