Like all sports, rugby offers lessons for success that apply to both sports and life in general. The World Cup is an event full of shocks, incidents and observations that the lessons that could be applied successfully to teach at all.
England, has once again demonstrated that it was possible miracle by defeating France, who defeated in their last meeting are in the first semifinal. The next day, Sunday, October 14, 2007, Argentina, the Pumas presented to South Africa, the Springboks, in the secondSemifinals.
One of South Africa was Brian Habana, the man who races cheetahs in public. Another was Percy Montgomery, one of the greatest fullbacks and kickers in world rugby goal.
Montgomery has considerable flak for its beauty and star of the film has received an alleged tendency to kick hard to leave the other kickers. Like all successful people, has proved its critics wrong for excellence in his field. I can not remember, losing theFootball.
Argentina fielded the same team that beat Scotland. The Pumas had several injury concerns but Juan Martin Hernandez, Felipe Contepomi, Ignacio Corleto and captain Agustin Pichot was passed fit.
Argentina has been achieved in their first World Cup semi-final game in the first team outside the Tri-Nations and Six Nations for the last four World Cup Rugby.
They had lost all eleven previous meetings with South Africa. But they have won ten oftheir games last thirteen years of Rugby World Cup and now have established a force in world rugby. Your ten victories had given them great confidence and conviction that they win the Cup.
All successful people experience growing confidence and power when they reach success after another. South Africa had the right even more confident, as they had experienced success after success for years.
South Africa is the dressing room at home used a day before theThe winners - England. Both teams sang their national anthem with great feeling.
Since 1997, the national anthem of South Africa was a hybrid that combines singing a new English translation with extracts from the hymn "Nkosi Sikelel 'iAfrika" and the former Union of South Africa anthem "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika called / The South Africa ".
The lyrics employ the five most popular in South Africa eleven official languages - Xhosa, Zulu, Sotho, Afrikaans and English.
Attitude Mandelaall nationalities, as you may have contributed to the success of the Springboks in the World Cup taking place in South Africa. Every great leader and successful who understands the power of unity and teamwork.
The Argentine national anthem was born of their struggle for independence against Spain in 1810. The chorus sums up the attitude of the rugby team in progress:
Sean Eternos Los Laureles
Que supimos achieve.
Coronado de Gloria Vivamos
Or juremos with glorydie.
May the laurels be eternal
What we have been able to win.
We live crowned with glory,
Or swear to die gloriously.
Pumas' coach Marcelo Loffreda has insisted that the party had won the intellectual battle play his berth in the final book in England:
"This World Cup is here that plays an important role in the head ... apart from the physical side, against South Africa, is crucial," said Loffreda.

"We also have a base of players who would die for you in other countries. We go into semi-finals with a side lengththat has evolved over the past six or seven years have been, and that gives us a chance. The players are warriors. "
Courage is another sign of successful dining. This includes the willingness to fight until death stops the action to take. Successful people tend to be warriors, in the sense that appear for what they believe, even if they lose will fight to keep fighting until the end - juremos with glory die.
