Only having passion for excellence will not give you success you need to have team of people with this quality. Team means “Together everyone achieves more” successful people always work in team and they have capability to develop team.

At later stage both of them has ego involved with each other and they decided to separate out now sa they play individually anyone can defeat them.
Moral you need team to be successful in business & you should be capable of developing team.
