A good habit called - Winning!!

There was this article i came across sometime that i don't exactly remember when. The article was about a plane that was carrying 37 members of the Marshall University Thundering Herd football squad and eight members of the coaching staff. The team members met a uneventful end when the plane they chartered to fly back to home crashed soon after take off from north Carolina airport in 1970. God! a very sad thing to happen! Loosing almost all it's side there was nothing that could be done to start playing again and get to winning ways. And win did they when they built a team out of some of the members of the team who were fortunately not on the crashed plane.
This piece of article led me to google for the Marshall university football team and wikipedia as usual gave me some insights into the story. And there it was mentioned a movie called 'We are marshall'.
Man, this movie was so inspirational to me. To loose a whole team, take the pain of loosing teammates, form the team, find people for it, train, loose and loose initially. Again try and try till you win the first game and then win and win till it becomes a habit!! Huh! Not everyone gets into this habit of winning. And it becomes pain and pleasure within to make a habit of winning.
And something very similar happened to Manchester United Football team too in the year 1958. And from ashes they too rose to where they are now. Amazing... Ain't it.. :)
