The Test
The TEST
How do we gauge our success? It can be summed up in one word "TEST", which
stands for Teamwork, Effort, Safety, and Triumph.
The first element "Teamwork" shows we came together as one, put aside our
allegiance to individualism and personal reservation, and made a commitment
to a greater cause. Though we did not know what the outcome would be,
nonetheless, we put our wager on the team, believing that somehow we will
succeed. It took a lot of courage but we felt the purpose was worthwhile.
Making an "Effort" is half the work. Showing up and doing our best
transforms into results. We stayed focus, labored hard, overcame the
challenges, and got the job done. It did not matter what was thrown at us,
we stood up to the test. We had a vision, stuck to our game plan, and
finished our work.
For us to truly appreciate what we have done, accomplishing the job "Safely"
is central. The goal is ensuring everyone remains healthy and goes home
alive and well. We started the journey together and finished together. We
got there by paying attention to detail, looking out for each other,
concentrating on the business at hand, exercising superior skills, and
realizing perfection. Getting the job done safely allowed everyone a chance
to share in the victory.
The final part of the TEST is "Triumph". This is the awe factor, the
exclamation sign, signifying that we brought our A-game. The results leaved
an immediate and lasting impression that we have done something great and
what we have accomplished cannot be ignored. We know that we have done our
best and our hard work has materialized into amazing things, some we never
imagined. You ought to be proud of what you do.
We face the TEST every day, often it will be tough but rising to the
occasion and overcoming the obstacles makes a statement that we are for real
and a force to be reckoned with. This is where we establish our brand
signifying "success", people will take us seriously and see it advantageous
to notice and accept what we offer.
