This evening I spent the evening insulated from the oddly winterly weather here in Dallas. That’s not to say I wouldn’t have anyway, because the Houston Rockets were set to play the Dallas Mavericks, in what promised to be an exciting and entertaining game.
The end result is that my hometown team, the Rockets, won the game handily and extended their 17 game winning streak. But I was fascinated by the work ethic exhibited at all times by each member or the team and found it quite inspirational. Every player worked their hardest from start to finish, even when they were safely in the lead with a 25 point advantage.
I believe this can be made analogous to politics, just like most things in sports .
It’s a bit difficult to explain, if you don’t already see where I’m going. To be honest, I’m still grasping to put it into succinct words, and I’ve been trying for the last hour. However, the work ethic evidenced by the Houston Rockets over the course of their spectacular winning streak should provide inspiration to anyone who works to achieve their goals.
During my campaign to become the next State Chairman of the TFCR, I have dedicated myself wholeheartedly to this organization. I’m doing everything that I can as a candidate to build the TFCR up in people’s minds and prepare for success after I become Chairman. But, once I’m elected I’ll have much more to do and will be devoting all the time necessary to accomplish our collective goals.
That said, I can’t do this alone. If we’re going to get anything done that’s worthwhile, we must work together in all ways possible. This means we need to have the best, brightest, and more honestly dedicated College Republicans in our state working to help lead the TFCR.
While I don’t expect anyone to work as hard as I do, there should be some inherent motivation in any leader within this organization to deliver their best work ethic while we fix our organization, prepare for the campaign season, and execute our strategy for Republican success across Texas. I’m confident in making that request of every College Republican who wants to serve the TFCR as an officer.
I believe that exhibiting my strong work ethic will motivate other officers to follow my lead, just as the strong work ethic of officers will motivate the chapter leadership of federated schools, which those leaders will motivate their members with. It may sound optimistic, but it’s simply my unwavering belief that the TFCR is capable of incredible and amazing things.
