Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 "Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one; they get a better return for their labor. If one person falls , the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble"
Last Saturday night it was kind of cloudy but warm outside, so I took my dog for a walk. Then the strangest thing happened. We were walking along, and I couldn’t see anythingin the sky but I could hear geese honking directly over my head.
As a goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. I learned that by flying a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range then if each bird on its own. When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and the 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.
If we have as much sense as a goose, we would stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. Are we willing to accept their help and give our help to others? Two are always so much better than one. HONK if you're willing to work with others! You'll accomplish so much more. It's called " synergy", where two or more people work together to produce a result not obtainable by any one independently. Two are better than one. Stay tuned next week for Part Two of "Honk Lessons From Geese".
