The team message, Core of team value

One sentence expresed the theme of chapter 5, "Almost everything that he did was designed to promote the message of team unity." I was moved this part, because in last class, Ken told us to two quotation.
One says "All living is meeting", the other says "A person is person because of other people".
These sentences are well describing storong point of message for teammembers. Text told us that to succeding at the Edge, we have to keep on touching oters. It is bond of comunication. However, keep on touching team members is difficult in sometime.
 That was my second year of high school. We were soccer team, but some members were disagreed with playing with because they can't become regular, or intent on study. team seemed to disintegrate. Therefore, members who want to meintain the club had decided to consult on teacher, and got permit of taking one week rest. During a week, we talked about club stance by using cell-phone e-mail. And we also declosed dissatisfaction about club. In addition, every members had wrote the opinion about club. Eventually, we all load these opiion. These wrer message, after that, we could get real voice of member. Most of them wrer unexpected. In other words, these important message can not get thorough the ordinary activity, therefore we got precious message. Eventually, few members had leave the club, but club bonds were reinforced well.
 Message is precious because it can express the storong solidarity between people and people.

Week four:Stamina

 The word "stamina" used in Japanese culture at the sports, it is natural that this word stands for endurance and continuation of something. In this books, the word stamina used little bit different, but also natural. In the book, it means tolerance and storond-minded self control.

 Meanings of "stamina" are put together in one sentence, "His self control, luck of self pity, and ability to care for others are admire quality." I espesially admired second, luck of self pity. I was very surprised to know Shackleton's physical ability is not gifted. He ignored that and disclosed to cheer up other crue. If he was stick to his weak point, Shackleton could not lead such severe condition. I recentry wrote about optimism, Shackleton is the very person who should do a leader.

 I also admired third quality, to monitor and encourage other men. I worked in Fuji mountain cottage for climbers in one month as a one of worker last year. At first, my job is just work so hard, however, around
 the end of work, I expected to know about other members work condition, health, and flow of client. For me, this task is overwelming, I could not carry on perfectly, because to look others is required more conscious resource than onself working. It was cotinuous of take careing, therefore not comfortable and easy.

 Finally, I undestand that ordinary "stamina" can get easily if you train your body, however the true "stamina "  Shackleton's three qualities arereally precious thing.
