3 Lessons Learned from March Madness

The NCAA Basketball Tournament, known as March Madness, is well underway with only four teams left – playing for the right to be in the championship game next week. While these four teams are some of the best college basketball teams in the country, this tournament has had its share of thrilling shots, suspense and upsets.

Here are 3 business/life lessons learned from this year’s tournament:

  • basketball-768713_640You always have a chance. That chance may be slim, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t show up and do the best you can. Remember David and Goliath; the odds makers probably didn’t give David very good odds either.
  • Don’t give up. It’s not over ‘til it’s over. There were several games in this tournament that were decided at, literally, the last second. You have to be continually present, focused and committed to what you are doing. You may not always win, but no one can tell you that you didn’t give it your all.
  • If you make it interesting, people will come. Unlike professional leagues (let’s not debate whether these college players are really professionals that happen to be in college), the NCAA Tournament is ‘one and done.’ Lose and you are done; win and you move on. No best out of 3, 5 or 7 games. Anyone can have a bad game – or a really good one – which is why this tournament draws millions of fans who watch the game in person, on television, computers or phone and more who have taken the time to fill out their brackets. Whatever you are doing, personally or professionally, make it interesting. Someone will be intrigued and will want to know what it is about.

At Naperville Senior Center we are passionate about what we do to give our Members the respect and independence they deserve. We want them to enjoy their time with us through socialization, activities, games and puzzles, exercise and even breaking bread together.

  • happy memberAt NSC, everyone has a chance; a chance to enjoy fun activities, do a little exercise and socialize with up to a dozen of their peers.
  • Our Members never give up. (Okay, some of them take a nap from time to time.) They realize they have certain limitations but they now look forward to their next visit.
  • Interesting activities recently at the Center: Pinot’s Palette conducted an art workshop, all Members received an ‘Oscar’ for their special talent, Bagpiper Tracey performed a recital, and a 134 pound dog came to visit twice.

When we hear our Members say they look forward to coming each day, we know we are doing our best. Each week there is something new, different and interesting for them to do or learn; we want our Members to grow!
