Ah...! Ah...! If only we acted like geese with our friends...!!!

LOOK AT THE FLOCKS OF GEESE MIGRATING INTO A WARMER PLACE FOR THE WINTER, AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THEY FLY IN V-FORMATION DO YOU KNOW WHY?.

WHEN THEY FLY IN V-FORMATION

...THE WHOLE FLOCK FLIES 71% FASTER THAN IF IT WAS JUST ONE GOOSE ALONE.

Lesson 1: IF WE FEEL PART OF THE GROUP AND GO TOGETHER IN THE SAME DIRECTION, WE’LL GET TO OUR DESTINATION FASTER AND MORE EASILY. ONLY BY HELPING ONE ANOTHER WILL WE GET BETTER RESULTS.

WHENEVER A GOOSE LEAVES THE FORMATION...

HE FINDS IT MORE DIFFICULT TO FLY ALONE BECAUSE OF THE AIR RESISTANCE HE MEETS.

THEN HE QUICKLY COMES BACK TO IT, TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE “THRUST” THAT MAKES THE GROUP MOVE.

Lesson 2: IF WE GET INVOLVED IN COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS, WE WON’T PUT IN SO MUCH EFFORT, AND WE WILL ACHIEVE OUR AIMS IN AN EASIER AND NICER WAY. AND… WE WILL BE OPEN TO GIVE AND GET HELP.

WHEN THE LEADER GETS TIRED...

... HE GOES TO THE BACK OF THE FORMATION, AND ANOTHER ONE TAKES HIS PLACE.

Lesson 3: WE SHOULD SHARE THE LEADERSHIP, RESPECT ONE ANOTHER, SHARE OUR PROBLEMS AND THE MOST DIFFICULT TASKS. ALL OUR ABILITIES, SKILLS, GIFTS, TALENTS AND RESOURCES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ALL.

WHEN THE GEESE FLY IN FORMATION, THEY QUACK TO ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT THOSE IN THE FRONT, SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP UP THE PACE.

Lesson 4: WHEN THERE IS COURAGE AND A WILL, THERE’S GREATER PROGRESS. A TIMELY WORD OF ENCOURAMENT MOTIVATES, HELPS AND BRINGS A LOT OF BENEFITS.

WHEN A GOOSE GETS SICK, WOUNDED OR TIRED...

AND HAS TO LEAVE THE FORMATION

OTHERS LEAVE THE FORMATION TOO AND JOIN HIM TO HELP AND PROTECT HIM. THEY STAY WITH HIM UNTIL HE DIES, OR UNTIL HE IS ABLE TO FLY AGAIN AND JOIN HIS FLOCK.

Lesson 5: DESPITE THE DIFFERENCES, LET’S KEEP TOGETHER, SIDE BY SIDE, BOTH IN HAPPY AND SAD TIMES, AND AT WORK.

IF WE BUILD A COOPERATIVE TEAM SPIRIT, IF, IN SPITE OF THE DIFFERENCES, WE FORM A GROUP THAT IS WILLING TO DEAL WITH ANY SITUATION THAT ARISES, IF WE UNDERSTAND THE REAL MEANING OF FRIENDSHIP, IF WE FEEL THAT SHARING MEANS SOMETHING, LIFE WILL BE SIMPLER AND OUR FLIGHT OVER THE YEARS WILL BE MUCH MORE PLEASANT ! IF WE STAY TOGETHER SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER,

FRIENDS... LET’S BE GEESE!!!
