Encouragement

This week has been a week of expresssion. Everyone, whether vebally or through non verbal methods were trying to express their feelings. Though time consuming, to have a session like that is always welcome. It clears the doubts within us that hinder the development of our brotherhood.

I really believe most scouts wants to contribute something: passion, idea, time and even some money. The only difficult thing is that due to misunderstanding, coordination and sometimes pride clouded our execution. As illustrated:

Misunderstanding: It always started with I do more, you do less. We have forgotten that the whole establishment did not even started with us. There were/are effective seniors who took their time to establish the whole TFSG. Did they clamour for recognition? They did not. Each was a step, a small step that grow the group.

Coordination: Through my humble observations, groups flourished in the initial state and die as almost in a sudden within a short few years, or they become ineffective in execution. What has happened? Same action, but drastically different ending! The problem is when there is no coordination, or in a most expressive way of putting it, no respect of the whole coordination, being action-filled, will certainly kill it. Because without the coordination, there is zero accountability in the process. Everyone can do his or her own thing then there will be zero measurement. People will therefore leave.

Pride: The most deadliest sin of all. Last nail onto the coffin will be, pride. With pride, it clouds our mind. Everything becomes a "only I" can do it issue from the "the group" can do it issue.

There were some encouragements though:
Yongwei was there.
Suba was there.
Kaiqi was there.
