The achivement is definetly a great one. Great commitment, Never giveup attitude, Self belief, Team work. May be people could take some inspiration out of this and apply in their daily lives, that which is in their control. But leave it at that, it is not your life, it is not your acheivement. People take this to heart and get deeply disturbed when it goes the other way.
Its just a game.. WIN or LOOSE. Enjot it while you can and move on. Easy saying than implementing with the environment around, isn't it. ;)
