Here's a story I would like to share:
The Story of Geese
As each goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.
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.
When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into formation and another goose flies to the point position.
The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
When a goose gets sick, wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it to help and 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.
Each of the paragraph above tells us one story.
And the above are 5 stories that spells TEAMWORK.
(1) People who share a common direction succeed.
(2) Be willing to accept their help and give our help to others.
(3) Take turns leading difficult tasks.
(4) Encouragement is important in a group.
(5) Stand by each other in difficult times.
Do you foresee teamwork in your platoon?
Is teamwork a a collection of brilliant minds
or a brilliant collection of minds?
Wearing the same shirts doesn't make you a team.
Reminding each other to keep your physical
appearance appropriate doesn't make you a team.
To some of you, these are all probably
done on the surface to prevent scoldings.
But one thing for sure about teamwork I know -
is that teamwork comes from the HEART.
Even the famous inventor
Thomas Edison
had 21 assistants to aid his success -
"If I could solve all the problems myself, I would."
Basketball prodigy
Michael Jordan
also believes that
"Talent wins games, but teamwork
and intelligence wins championships."
What is your goal for Bravo then?
Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
