My sage advice for the month of October

You might be interested

in knowing what

scientist have discovered about why geese

fly in a "V"formation

Fact # 1

It has been learned that as each bird flaps its

wings, it creates a uplift for the bird immediately

following. By flying in a "V" formation, the

whole flock adds at least 75% greater flying range

than if each bird flew on its own.

Basic Truth # 1

People who share a common direction and

sense of

community can get where they are going quicker

and easier because they are traveling on

the thrust of one another.

Fact #2

When ever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly

feels the drag and resistance of trying to go

it alone.

Basic Truth #2

It is easier if we stay in formation with those

who are headed the same way we

are going.

Fact #3

When the lead goose gets tired,

it rotates back in the wing and

another goose flies point.

Basic Truth #3

It pays to take turn doing hard jobs,

leadership can and should be shared.

Fact #4

The geese honk from behind to encourage those

up front to keep their speed.

Basic Truth #4

We need to be very careful what we say when we

honk from behind,

make it positive and encouraging

Fact #5

Finally, when a goose, gets sick or is wounded

and falls out, two geese fall out of

formation and follows the bird down to help

and protect the injured bird.

They stay until the goose is able to fly again

or is dead.

Then they launch out on their own to catch

up with the group.

Basic Truth #5

IF WE HAD THE SENSE OF A GOOSE,

WE WILL STAND BY EACH OTHER!!!
