Many will think about getting upset with the world and complain about how things are not going their way.
It is very easy to be very cheerful when things are going great.
But your true character will be revealed when the going get tough.
Case in point, the Cincinnati Bengals.
Cincinnati had a 14 year playoff drought prior to the arrival of Marvin Lewis in 2003.
Under his tenure, the Bengals made 6 trips to the post season and lost in every appearance in the first round.
It seemed like when the bright lights shine on the Bengals especially on quarterback Andy Dalton, they shrink under pressure.
Stephen A. Smith has said that Lewis should not continue to be the head coach of the Bengals because of his playoff results.
He really has a point on that assessment because if anyone is going to be regarded as one of the greatest teams, player, or head coach, you must be able to win championships when the spotlight is on you.
Though the Bengals did not have the right players for Mr. Lewis to work with, they still should have found a way to win that elusive playoff game.
If you wilt away under the pressure and have excuses for why you could not deliver a championship or in the case of Mr. Lewis, a playoff victory, then you really can’t handle the expectations that come with the job.
That goes for anyone who is an employee, an entrepreneur, etc.
So if something goes wrong that is not in your control, how are you going to react? You can leave your comments below.
