Lessons from Geese

Although our society is becoming more and more removed from daily contact with nature, we can learn a lot from it. Teamwork, for example, isn't exclusive to human beings. Ants work in harmony, as do bees. But if you really want an example of cooperation in action, look upward.

Geese have perfected the art of teamwork and can teach us a lot about collaboration.

Fact 1: As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the birds that follow. By flying in V formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.
Lesson: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.

Fact 2: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it.
Lesson: If we have as much sense as a goose, we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help, and we give our help to others.

Fact 3: When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies to the point position.
Lesson: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other's skills, capabilities, and unique arrangement of gifts, talents, or resources.

Fact 4: The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those in front to keep up their speed. Lesson: We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one's heart or core values and encourage the heart and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek.

Fact 5: When a goose gets sick, wounded, or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help or protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.
Lesson: If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

Aggravating the devil...just for a smile~

The Priest was preparing a man for his long day's journey into night.
Whispering firmly, the Priest said, "Denounce the devil! Let him know how little you think of him!" The dying man said nothing.
The priest repeated his order. Still the man said nothing.
The priest asked, "Why do you refuse to denounce the devil and his evil?"
The dying man said, "Until I know for sure where I'm heading, I don't think I ought to aggravate anybody."

MBA

MBA with a humour

A cruise boat docked near a tiny Brazilian village. An American tourist complimented a local fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. "Oh, not very long," answered the man.

"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American. The Brazilian explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet the needs of his family.

The tourist asked: "And what do you do with the rest of your time?

The local answered: "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. Evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar and sing a few songs¡K I have a very full life."

The tourist said: "I have an MBA from Harvard - a highly rated business school - and I can help you. You can start by fishing longer everyday. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the added money you can buy a bigger boat, catch even more fish, buy another boat and yet another so that soon you would have an entire fleet of fishing boats. Then, instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own factory. You can then leave this little village and move to Rio, Los Angeles or even New York. From there you can direct your entire enterprise! "How long would that take?" asked the Brazilian.

"Oh, twenty years or so," replied the tourist.

"And, after that?"

"Afterwards? That's when it gets really interesting!" answered the MBA. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stock in it and make millions!"

"Millions? Really? And, after that?"

"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta, and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends!"
