My team celebrate success even it is small.
We applied for ICU dream competition in order to get subsidy from ICU alumni association.
Finally, we could not get good prize, but we got some subsidy anyway.
All of the member were glad to make effort for this competition.
Without celebrating, we lose the meaning to make effort for tournament and it is clear that it contribute for holding a tournament.
I feel happiness when we share the success to go next step because our effort is rewarded.
I was surprised at Shakleton's action. He clue members celebrated while they were waiting for rescue. (p.116)
If I were him, I would not be able to hold such a ceremony. What I would do is just waiting for rescue with anxiety.
From Shakleton action, I learned that we need to celebrate ourselves or what we have done especially in severe time.
In severe time, it is difficult to have room to praise what we have done.
Since we are depressed at that time, we rather need to get back our motivation.
In this way, our mind will soften and be relaxed, which leads to maintain aiming at our goal.
p.s. I was strongly impressed a rescue of mine workers in Chile.
With strong team work, they could endure in severe environment for more than 70 days.
I want to be such kind of a leader!!!!!!!!!
Kaoru,I was also touched by the mine workers in Chile;-) There must be a great leader. I'm looking forward to see the movie or read the book about the accident in several years...
返信削除Hi Kaoru,
返信削除Thanks for your post. I really liked this line of yours:
"I learned that we need to celebrate ourselves or what we have done especially in severe time."
This is all too true.
I like too that you made the connection with the Chilean miners. Focusing on what they did to keep their spirits up would make a good final presentation.
