A lesson from geese....

"Have you ever wondered why migrating geese fly in V-formation? As with most animal behaviour, God had a good reason for including that in their instincts. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates up lift for the bird following. In a V formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% more flying range than if each bird flew alone.

Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone and quickly gets back into formation. Like geese people who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier than those who try to go it alone.

When a goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position. If people had as much sense as geese, they would realize that ultimately their success depends on working as a team, taking turns doing the hard tasks, and sharing leadership.

Geese in the rear of formation honk to encourage those up front to up their speed. It is important that or ‘honking from behind’ be encouraging. Otherwise it’s just – well – honking. When a goose gets sick or wounded, two other geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and provide protection. They stay with the unhealthy member of the flock until it is either able to fly again or dies. Then they launch out again with another passing flock or try to catch up with their own. May we be so sacrificial, that we may be worthy of such friends in our time of need. Amazing what we can learn from God’s creation – if only we observe!"


Lembrei-me desta historia que ouvi na Dinamarca...

Perfect ;)
