The Sense Of Goose

 

The Sense of a Goose

In the autumn 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 learnt that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following by flying in a "V" formation, the whole folk adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

Lesson......PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF A TEAM AND SHARE A COMMON DIRECTION GET WHERE THEY ARE GOING QUICKER AND EASIER, BECAUSE THEY ARE TRAVELLING ON THE TRUST OF ONE ANOTHER......

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 folk

Lesson......IF WE HAVE A MUCH SENSE AS A GOOSE, WE WILL SHARE INFORMATION WITH THOSE WHO ARE HEADED THE SAME WAY AS WE ARE GOING......

When the leads goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose takes over.

Lesson......IT PAYS TO SHARE TASKS/LEADERSHIP AND TAKES TURNS IN DOING HARD JOBS......

The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed

Lesson......WORDS OF SUPPORT INSPIRATION HELP ENERGIZE THOSE ON THE FRONT LINE, HELPING THEM TO KEEP PACE IN SPITE OF THE DAY-TO-DAY PRESSURES AND FATIGUE......

Finally, when a geese gets sick or is wounded by a gun shot 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 able to fly or dead and they launch out with another formation to catch up with their group.

Lesson......IF WE HAVE THE SENSE OF A GOOSE, WE WILL STAND BY EACH OTHER WHEN THINGS GET ROUGH......
