Ah!...Ah!...

If among friends or colleaguesIf among friends or colleagues

We were like geese!!!We were like geese!!!

During the next season,

When you see the geese migrating,

going to warmer places to spend the winter

Watch them fly in “V” formation

Perhaps you are interested

in knowing why they do so...

When flying in “V” formation ...

... The entire group increases in 71% the range of the flight

compared to one bird flying alone.

Lesson 1:

Sharing the same direction

and bound of the group

Allows them to arrive faster

and easier to the destiny

By helping each other

the results are better

When one goose leaves

the formation...

It feels the air resistance and

the difficulty to fly alone

.Thus...

it returns quickly to the formation,

to get leverage from the lifting power

of the front flyers.

Lesson 2:

By keeping united and in synchrony

close to those who guide us

to the same direction,

the effort will be lesser.

It will be easier and more pleasant

to reach the goals.

We will be more willing

To accept and offer help.

When the leader goose gets tired...

... It moves to the end of formation

while another takes over the leading place

Lesson 3:

Share the leadership

and respect each other

at all times

Split the problems

and the most difficult tasks

Blend skills

and capabilities

Combine gifts, talents,

and resources.

The geese when in formation

honk the flight all along...

It’s to encourage

and transmit confidence

To the front flyers ahead

for they shall remain

in the same speed.

Lesson 4:

When there are

encouragement and support

The progress is larger

and more visible.

A nice word of support

at the right moment

helps, push forward,

and brings the best of benefits.

When one goose gets sick, hurt ,

or just tired...

And may leave the formation...

Others leave the formation

and follow through

to help and protect it

They stand by until its death

or, if recovered,

capable to fly again

Then they will catch up

with the group or will join

another formation

Lesson 5:

Be united and close

to one another

despite all the differences,

in bad or tough moments

Be friendly and supportive

even during work hours

to strengthen

the best of each flyer.

If we stand by each other

united and supportive

if the teamwork evolves

and we stick strong together

and willing to face all troubles

if we understand how

friendship is precious and critical

and we are willing to share

Then life will be simpler, easier

and the flight delightful!
