Motivational - Goose Tips
Motto -- Words to Live By
We, here in #Beginner, are a team....much like the following story. We've learned that it takes teamwork, cooperation, give & take, always keeping in mind our goal -- that of being the *Best* Help/Chat Channel on the Undernet. I hope you will enjoy these goose tips -- as much as we've enjoyed learning from them.
Inspiration: Team Geese
In the fall when you see geese heading south for the winter flying along in the "V" formation, you might be interested in knowing what science has discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creats an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go through it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the power of the flock.People who are part of a team and share a common direction get where they are going quicker and easier, because they are traveling on the trust of one another.
When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose takes over.
The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed.
Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded by a gunshot and falls out, two geese fall out of the formation and follow the injured one down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly or until he is dead, and then they launch out with another formation to catch up with their group.
The next time you see a formation of geese, remember: It is a 'Reward', a 'Challenge', and a 'Privilege' to be a contributing member of a 'Team'.
