About chapter 4
I know that I need the stamina every time I do something, however, this chapter gave me not the importance of having the stamina but the importance of how to use it. Until I read this chapter, I thought I have to care about others first of all when I organize people. When I am a leader, the others follow such me. So I do not want them to be in trouble and to be confused. If it is possible, I want to do everything because I have much stamina comparatively. However this thought is a little different.
For example, now I am a leader of my section for ICU festival. I have to attend the meeting, submit any documents by the due, count the money to need and so on. Exactly I have a lot of other things to do such as homework, part-time job and so on, but I can do them by myself for the moment. Sometimes I feel tired but that is not much of tiredness or strain. I am thankful that my mother bore me with much stamina :)
But I may have to change my mind now. For organiging people and accomplishing something with them, it does not secceed by individual. Indeed I know my sectionmates said me that they corporate with me. I tried, however, to do all because I do not want to task them, although they help me. As Shackleton, caring about not himself but others is one way to organize people, but if a leader lost his stamina and morale at all, the organization will collapses. To be a good leader is essential to care about himself and not to do all alone. Sectionmates is a team, so I have to use my stamina for them and ME.
When I need to vent, I want to deal with the problem by myself and I do not want someone to be confused because of my worries. As I wrote previous assinghment, laughing makes me positive and makes my stamina! When I have made a significant mistake, of course I reflect it and try to find what to do better next, and I laugh thoroughly before I regret it. I have to reflect a mistake, but do not have to regret it.
I learnt the way to use my stamina through chapter 4. As a good leader, it is important for me to understand my limit. And I wrote that I want to deal with the problem by myself without a outlet, but I try to find my Wild or my Worsley :)
Hi Kanako,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your posting, and I really like what you say about how, "Sectionmates is a team, so I have to use my stamina for them and ME." You are so right, and from Chapter 5 you can apply the idea that as a team, "You live or die together."
And good luck with finding your own Wild or Worsley.

Hi Kanako,
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how hard it would be like to get all your sectionmates together and work as a leader. As you said, I think it's important to keep up your stamina so share your work as much as you can:) Don't try hard too much until you get sick or stress out! Hope your team will be successful at the festival!
