But they expected that only 2 or 3 competitors could go so deeply into such a contest.<\/p>\n<p>The final eight contestants came from a new high of 562 participants.\u00a0 In the 20<sup>th<\/sup> round they were ALMOST OUT OF WORDS.<\/p>\n<p>So, I loved hearing stories about this outcome; that 8 winners were declared. The morning news shows, eager for a feel-good story, talked about the tradition of the national spelling bee, the high percentage of Indian-Americans who often do well (after spelling their last names in English, it is not so surprising to me that they could master words such as <strong>auslaut<\/strong>), and how they prepared for the event.<\/p>\n<p>I loved hearing about some of the words that were included to see if I could come anywhere close to the success of these kids.\u00a0\u00a0 (I\u2019m much better with armchair or kitchen counter JEOPARDY, providing the appropriate question in response to Alex Trebek\u2019s prompts.)<\/p>\n<p>I guided my ROKU TV remote through network and cable channels looking for interviews with Rashik or Shruthika or Erin.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t get enough of their innocence, their composure, and their humility.<\/p>\n<p>A few explained that they were very happy that they were all declared champions.\u00a0 They were rooting for each other to correctly spell the words that were given to them.\u00a0 They saw the competition as a way to challenge themselves and perform to the best of their ability.<\/p>\n<p>Wow, what a fresh perspective!<\/p>\n<p>In the business world, I\u2019ve grown accustomed to people referring to <strong><em>win-win<\/em><\/strong> negotiations.\u00a0 Both companies get something they want.<\/p>\n<p>But, especially with crazy MAGA rhetoric infiltrating so many aspects of our daily life, with leaders that think of their victories and <strong><em>deals<\/em><\/strong> more in terms of who loses and less in terms of having a positive impact on most people, that these pre-teen spelling champs wanted to see everyone with whom they shared their experience doing well is incredible.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding that there can be winners without there being losers is no small thing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid news of ongoing
