motivated team saves motivated sloth
In this story is about what motivates the lazy, energy of empathy, creative thinking ‘inside the box.’
I know this dog. All he does is just lay around all day. Doesn’t even want to go tho the park. No ambition. Is there a human word for that. “Yup, ‘sloth.’ It’s the avoidance of work.”
That fella is cuter than me!
“Courtesy of his ambition, Steve the Sloth this fella is ‘up the tree,' literally and figuratively. He missed the breeding window and swam over here for ‘greener pastures,’
And find some action.
See that deserted island way in the distance. Steve swam all that way. Sluggish on the ground, speedy in the water, puppy.”
“Why do dogs runaway?” We’re not happy with our living conditions, heard sometimes it works, other times has disastrous consequence. “Well Steve couldn’t save himself from himself and in unfamiliar ground he got the disastrous consequence.”
“We gotta save Steve! Why? Because no sloth food around here, but hearing there’s some just up the road.”
So the humans assembled. It was a difficult task, needed a bunch of strangers united for a common cause to Save Steve. All twelve of his giant toes got a death grip on that branch, and no way to motivate him to come down. Wasn’t gonna go easy, gotta get creative. Steve a big boy, Two and a half feet tall, tips the scale at fiteen pounds.
So Team Save Steve left the beachside bar and jumped into action. Four of them held a parcel box about the size of Steve positoned right below him. Another had a mechete.
That guy whacked on that limb which Steve hanging, it broke Steve and his limb fell into the box. The good news for Team Save Steve is that he’s a sloth, don’t have the energy for vicious. Our leader put a boxed Steve in his pickup and drove Steve to a place that had sloth food (leaves, not palm fronds.)
The motivated Team Save Steve had to think out of the box to get Steve the motivated sloth, in the box.
intrepid team: the game must go on
Twink, we make a great team. We are diverse, complimentary set of skills, and generate different approaches to solve complex problems. We have a common desire, a common goal. That’s right and we allied with unlikely friends, made new friends to assist us along the way. We’ve seem
You ever ‘been in the moment, you’re having so much fun, find the magic of the expanded present? In this case we analyze an imprompu pickup volleyball game with people of diverse thought, abilities, who get focused on relentless execution of a common goal: FUN
Have a real predicament here. We gotta heated match of beach volleyball each team a random bunch of misfits, strangers,, varying skill levels bonded by one purpose. Fun. But fun hits a speed bump when errant ball gets stuck on flat hot tin roof. This bunch of ‘super-ennials’ didn’t Google ‘how to retrieve volleyball?.’ In extreme situations, technology rendered useless, creativity king. As this whole assemblage materialized the on-lookers were stunned, nervous. Dad, why aren’t you helping them. See this scar on my surgically repaired shoulder> My contributions are best deployed capturing the moment, the magic of spontaneous teamwork.
Bringing the passi0n
Here’s a story about personal priorities and passion.
“Twink, passion is a visceral obsession. And it’s a constant presence. In some cases your passion can be shared, other times it could be an escape.”
Thing I love about you humans is your passion for dogs. Can’t keep yourself away from dog books, dog videos, dog toys. Hell you love us more than most of your friends and family.
“Twink, THE MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do is find the passion in your life.” I’m passionate about walks, that’s my passion.
Didn’t take long for me to figure out Latino’s first passion is familia. Hermana abandons me every Sunday or when her relatives are in town. We’re never invited but thats ok. We’re friends but not part of her familia. It’s their time.
“Twink for Colombianos, futbol is a distant second passion, but passion nevertheless. It plays a key societal role. Where familia is a private club, futbol is a nation-wide connective tissue. Both bring joy, an escape from what all too often is a dull existence.”
“Familia y futbol, a good balance.”
Dad and I share a passion for the park and Hermana rarely joins us because she recognizes that as our ‘family time.’
But all three of us watch futbol together.
Watch this video and tell me how passionate are you about your passion.
common goal transforms enemies to frenimies
Here’s story of how a comon denomintor can turn enemies into frenimies, strangers into family.
Dad was taking a siesta. I love a fiesta and hear some commotion. Window open I could hear it going on. I jumped on him, let’s go to the fiesta. Wow this is increndible, we’re the green team, we hate the red team.
You went to Duke. Would Duke/Carolina bands be on stage playing each other’s fight songs?
“When they put a dog on the moon, maybe. It’s usually red shirts and green shirts but these days everybody got yellow shirts House Divided to House United. Why?”
“Copa Mundial, the World Cup. They unite for a common purpose.” I like the way people think here. “Write that one down puppy.”
At Duke B-School, we started as 250 strangers, make an argument we were competing against each other. Well first night together, we had to sleep out for hoops tickets. Looked like it was gonna suck, but strangers got a common goal. Los extranos vuelve hermanas, hermanos. familia.”
That test, the common goal made the strangers family.
