Lessons from Geese
大雁的启示
Lesson 1
第一课
As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird following it.
当大雁舞动翅膀，它能产生一种提升力让自己迅速飞行。
By flying in V-formation, the whole flock adds 70% greater flying range than if it flew alone.
排列V字的队列，会使整个鸟群的飞行效率相对于无规则的单独飞行提高至少71%的效率。
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and more easily because they are traveling on the trust and support of one another.
人们如果有相同的团队方向和团队意识，那么集体的力量极大地提高飞行速度和容易程度，主要因为他们彼此信任，相互扶持。
Lesson 2
第二课
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird ahead, but not try to fly alone.
不论什么时候，如果有大雁脱离队形，它会很快地得到前面大雁给予的提升力量迅速回到队伍中，而不是尝试独自飞翔。
If we have as much sense as geese, we will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go and be willing to accept their help, as well as give ours to others.
如果我们有足够多的大雁这种团队意识，那我们可以和方向一致的人一起保持团队协作，相互帮助，一齐前进。
Lesson 3
第三课
When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position.
当领队的大雁累了，它会盘旋着飞到后面，而后面的大雁早已经做好准备飞向领队位置进行替换。
It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership.
他们这种轮流领队的做法是非常明智的。
With people as with geese, we are interdependent on each other's skills and capabilities and special talents and resources of the individuals.
和大雁一样，每个人都有独自的技能和能力，以及特殊的才能和各自的资源。
