Lessons From Geese
Fact 1: As each goose flaps its wings
it creates an uplift for the birds that
follow. By flying in a V formation, the whole
flock adds 71 percent greater flying range
than if each bird flew alone.
Lesson: 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 trust of
one another.
Fact 2: When a goose falls out of
formation, it suddenly feels the drag and
resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves
back into formation to take advantage of the
lifting power of the bird immediately in
front of it.
Lesson: If we have as much sense as a
goose we stay in formation with those headed
where we want to go. We are willing to accept
their help and give our help to others.
Fact 3: When the lead goose tires, it
rotates back into the formation and another
goose flies to the point position.
Lesson: It pays to take turns doing the
hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with
geese, people are interdependent on each
other's skills, capabilities, and unique
arrangements of gifts, talents, or
resources.
Fact 4: The geese flying in formation
honk to encourage those up front to keep
their speed.
Lesson: We need to make sure our
honking is encouraging. In groups where there
is encouragement, the production is much
greater. The power of encouragement (to stand
by one's heart or core of values and
encourage the heart and core of others) is
the quality of honking we seek.

BOOK REVIEW |

The Packing Book: Secrets of the Carry-On
Traveler
by Judith Gilford
Ten Speed Press, Berkeley, CA, 2006. $12.95
Whether you are trekking at high altitudes,
spending three weeks in European museums,
traveling with kids, or on an overnight
business trip with displays, handouts and a
laptop, Judith Gilford shows you how to pack
everything in a single, manageably sized
suitcase with an optional second bag.
Focusing on carry-on travel because it is
easy, convenient and popular, The Packing
Book bulges with details and tips to keep
your luggage lean. Explaining the pros and
cons of luggage styles, the long lasting
luggage fabrics versus the knock-offs
adequate only for infrequent travel, Gilford
reveals the size of carry-on luggage that
will fit on virtually any plane. Just in case
the airline makes your gate check your bag,
Gilford suggests carrying a folded nylon bag
in order to remove the valuables from your
luggage before releasing it. To keep you
looking good no matter your destination, she
teaches you how to stick to a color scheme
and even how to remove wrinkles without an
iron. If you are traveling in warm climates
take a lip pencil (it won't melt like
lipstick) and consider wearing garment
protectors to avoid perspiration on shirts
and reduce the need to launder. Covering
everything from water purifiers to online
storage of travel documents and detailing her
revolutionary "bundle method" of packing that
prevents wrinkling, The Packing Book,
prepares you for stress-free travel in this
brief, easy to read and indispensable book.
