B
Animals usually make us pleased, cheer us up, and sometimes, even get us scared. But do you know they can teach us something? Geese (鹅), for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork.
In Autumn, Canada geese fly south to get away from Canada's cold winter weather. At first, they fly in no order. Yet very quickly they form a V shape, with one bird leading the flock (雁群). Scientists have discovered that flying in a V-shaped formation can help them to save energy.
How does this apply to (适用于) humans?
Work together. Whether it is in our personal lives or our professional ones, we need other people. We are encouraged by their enthusiasm (热情) and energy. If we face the difficulties in life alone, the risks are greater.
Be an encourager. We have found that geese make sound in flight to encourage those up front to keep up the speed. Team members should regularly communicate with each other while working towards a common goal.
Take turns. The goose out in front has the hardest job as it breaks up the air currents (气流). When it gets tired, it moves behind, and another goose moves into the lead. By sharing the role, the flock can travel great distances. Teams can benefit from the same idea. Based on their experience and skills, people can take turns sharing the leadership role.
Set a good example. When geese are on land, if something scares the leader, it might fly off. So does the flock. But if the leader remains calm, the flock will do the same. Geese and people usually imitate their leaders. When leading, we must remember that our actions and emotions are passed on to our followers.
Like geese, when we work together, our burdens (负担) are lighter.
