LE Part 4: Stamina

Hello, everyone!
It's been a while since I posted the last blog, but now I'm trying to catch up.


In this post, I hope to write about the 4th chapter of this book, Leading at the Edge. One of the sections which are convincing to me is "Find Outlets for Your Own Feelings." This section talked about how Shackeleton deals with his feeling, scare in particular in his agony journey with his men. There are four spectific ways to deal with our own feelings, which are talking to friends, keeping a journal, writing letters and seeing a coach or counselor. In my case, I often talk to my mother, and talking to my mother often makes me realize the points I am missing, or makes my thoughts or doubt neat and tidy. I mean, my thoughts are organized after talking to her. When I was a 12th grader in my high school, I played a role as a leader of school team of The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN) as I've written in the previous post. Working on tasks of THIMUN consumes so much time that many members of the team were actually concerned about their grades for class. I was not an exception. I was so worried about it and talked to my mum on the phone. And she was the one who made me realize I was not the only one who was worried about grades but so were the other members, and in addition, she told me if I was afraid to committing myself in THIMUN, they would see that and the team members woulod not concentrate on their tasks. Since I know talking to someone makes me realize something I'm missing and organize my thoughts, I was very convinced by what the author writes here, in "Find Outlets for Your Own Feelings."
