One usefull message

I have received many messages in my mobile phone, most of them are useless forward messages that are sent to me by my friends. I usually delete messages in my inbox so that it doesn't keep displaying the message "INBOX FULL". Today, as usual, i took my mobile today and unlocked it just to see that my inbox was full again. I had to delete a few messages and was looking at all the messages trying to find the ones that i could delete immediately.
Just then, i happened to see a message from a very dear friend.

This message was a very old one, it was sent to me in August 11th, 2007. But somehow, i had not deleted it since it was sent by one of my best friends. This was a reply to a message Where i had said, "When you build a team to win, look for people who hate to lose". She had sent a reply which not only shook me, but made me think over my attitude.

The message goes like this :
"In my 23 years of lifetime, i've never seen a person who loves to lose! When you build a team to win, look for people who would be humble enough to sacrifice personal fame and work for a higher purpose... Because victory is like a butterfly, if you chase it, it will run away. Wait with perseverance, it'll come to you".

Note to my friend: Dear Nandy! Thanks for your advice! Although i knew the message was just a reply with pun intended, it changed my attitude totally. Maybe, when i prepare a team for a purpose, i'll definitely keep your advice in mind. Thanks Nandy!
