Working as A Team

This statement below best summarizes the essence of team work. Ebele Okobi-Harris described for BusinessWeek the race she participated in a few years ago in Marocco, with a few friends.

"I felt such pride in myself when I finished, but even more pride in all my friends, some older and some in not as good shape as I am, who finished. I don't remember ever thinking "I did it." I breathed a sigh of relief when the last friend came across the line, and I then yelled with such overwhelming joy and tears, "We did it!"
