By reading ch.4, it made me think that maintaining physical strength is really important not only for leaders but for followers too because teams won’t be able to do anything even when the leaders were only able to work and powerful. So maybe it is “Stamina” is important for leaders for themselves, and they always need to care about others’ too.
There are several outlets for my frustrated or stressed feeling.
First of all, as it says in the page 64, I’ll talk to my friends.
When I have something that I dont understand well or can’t find any solutions that are problem of the samba club, I would have some time to go for restaurant to have some talk with my close friends who are also in the same club. I think this is the best possible way to refresh my anxiety because friends are the one who really understand me how I feel and so they are the ones who I can greatly trust on.
In addition to this, I really agreed with the saying in the book that said “Write letters home. Communicate with others you care about even if they may not fully understand the conditions you face”.
About the one talking with my friends, the advices I can get from those friends are important, but in this latter case, it doesn’t matter whether the other person im writing understands what Im talking about, and the content of the letter is not necessarily important, but rather, the process of expressing my feeling openly and freely has significant meaning.
I was thinking about the reason why this topic was in this chapter which stressed on physical strength. I thought it was because the author wanted to insist that the leader must not feel too responsible for one’s mistakes and leaders sometimes must need to explicit the frustrated feelings.
Hi Tomoya,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your entry. I really liked what you said about the importance of simply expressing yourself:
"it doesn’t matter whether the other person im writing understands what Im talking about, and the content of the letter is not necessarily important, but rather, the process of expressing my feeling openly and freely has significant meaning."
We tend to forget that this is a fundamental need of humans.
