“The strength of the wolf lays in the pack, and the strength of the pack lies in the wolf.” This quote applies to all of us in life that consider ourselves part of a team or group, because in a group you will always be considered on unit and therefore only as one can you make it anywhere. If u wanted to you could apply this in life, like in a basketball team, because it is just not enough to have great players because they go nowhere if they have no teamwork. This reminds me of a discussion on ESPN because they were asking who the better basketball player was, if it was Lebron James or Dwayne Wade and the arguments included something similar to what the quote was saying. It discussed the fact that in the case of Lebron, he was an excellent player by himself but with his team it was hard because those other players averaged a best 3 points in a game and for him to play as well as he did it was exceptionally well. In the case of Dwayne Wade he did not score as much as Lebron did however, he had a more supportive team and was therefore able to play better even though he may not have been so well himself.

This quote holds true in other application in life to because it holds for anything you will ever do in a group, because in a group not everyone will be able to do something someone else can but they have something that they have and someone else will not that help level the field. For example, in a group project you will always have the motivated person who will be able to take the leading position and be willing to present everything. Then you will have the artistic person who can think of ideas that you need and design the project, and then you have the one who works physically hard to try to piece everything together. Now in life not everyone ends up being this exact way and so we get many people who have a little bit of each in them but they lean more towards one end of the three and so are more likely to do that than the other two. It is by this way that groups can work out so well but it is also because of this that one must realize they are only as good as their group. Since even with a great person in your group they cannot go too ahead because the rest would not be able to stay on par with them and the project would ultimately fail.

When we learned this, we learned it the hard way and we saw that as a group, we cannot fall and we would have to complement each other in our work to try to stick in everything together and make it in the end. The idea of being as strong as your pack is that if one of you lack in one point someone else would have to pick up in that point and as a group u agree that you are all loyal and dedicated to each other and so you will never let another fall behind. This is true because it is pointless to have someone go for the win by themselves without their team behind them, which is why you always call it a team effort.
