[00:00.03] Unit 47 Lessons from Geese Lesson 1 As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird following it. [00:12.54] By flying in V formation, the whole flock adds 70% greater flying range than if it flew alone. [00:21.00] People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and more easily because they are traveling on the trust and support of one another. [00:33.13] Lesson 2 Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird ahead, [00:44.01] but not try to fly alone. [00:47.00] If we have as much sense as geese, we will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go and be willing to accept their help, [00:56.33] as well as give ours to others. [00:59.56] Lesson 3 When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position. [01:10.42] It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. [01:15.39] With people as with geese, we are interdependent on each other's skills and capabilities and special talents and resources of the individuals. [01:27.19] Lesson 4 The geese in a formation honk from behind to encourage those in front to keep up their speed. [01:36.47] We need to make sure our honking from behind is encouraging and not something else. [01:42.40] In groups where there is great encouragement against great obstacles, the production is much greater. [01:49.37] This is the power of encouragement. [01:52.23] At the center of encouragement is" courage", and the root of courage is a Latin word that means" heart". [02:00.12] Maybe honking strengthens the heart. [02:03.07] Lesson 5 When a goose gets sick, or wounded, or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it to help and protect it. [02:13.59] They stay with it until it is either able to fly again or dies. [02:19.04] Then they launch out on their own with another formation or catch up with the flock. [02:25.01] If we have as much sense as geese, we too will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.
