4. Summary of the poem

Teamwork is a poem written by Edgar Albert Guest. He emphasizes on the importance of teamwork than individual performance. We may be counted as a star because we are skilled, but we should know whether we will be able to manage a team. There are no single hands when it comes to the game of life - all hands join together to make lives easier. Even if we are praised and called great by others, we must be able to work with our running mates, or we will never win the game. If we want only our self to win, it is selfish. Whether we win or lose a battle is decided only by the spirit of the team. Set your mind and will to helping your fellow mates to win, even when his chances seem poor and hopeless. Forget yourself until the game gets over, play, fight and win for the team.
