In terms of stamina, I know that to maintain my stamina as an individual as well as a leader is important because if I lost my stamina, I can't do anything for me and for others and others around me will worry or sometimes will be angry at me. For example, our baseball team's ex-captain sometimes says to me, "you are the captain so you have to behave as a captain, you shouldn't say any negative words about yourself because those words make members uncomfortable."
I think that being a leader needs to be a symbol or be a good example of that organization. So, as the author says, maintaining stamina for managing an organization well is extremely important.
And I also think that one of the roles of a captain is to cheer others up whenever they look, say, tired. Based on this thought, when I feel tired and feel not good as a leader, I treat myself as like other members. As I said in the previous assignment, this is my strategy to be a leader and good individual who has a great amount of energy; treating myself as another person. The leader Yasu cheer one of the members called Yasu when the leader thinks he is tired.
But none the less, there are times when I want to leave myself alone. Even such a tough time, however, I try not to talk about my anxieties to anyone except some of the good friends. This is because I don't want to confuse them. Of course some friends are very kind and listen to me and give me a good advice, but most of them don't think seriously or think too seriously so I can't talk to them. Now I try to solve my own problem by myself. Do you think it is nonsense??
Instead of talking to friends, every day (when I behave as a leader) I keep a journal. What's happened today and if the happening is a problem, what I should do to solve it etc... This doesn't confuse anybody and I can say good bye to my problems, that is, I can get the hope for tomorrow. I believe that writing down what I thought is quite useful and beneficial.
Anyway, I want to live with a strong mind and will. And to achieve this goals, I'm going not to lose my stamina.

Hi Yasu,
返信削除Thanks for your post. A couple of things really stand out. One is about treating yourself as another person, that the leader you sometimes needs to cheer on the member you.
Another is about keeping a journal. Personal reflection is an incredibly valuable part of understanding and improving oneself.
Good stuff.
