I can really relate to Chapter 4 because right now with assignments, mid-terms, dance practice and living away from home I haven't had time to take care of my physical and emotional health. = I have a cold and I'm stressed out boo:( Wow I can't believe Shakleton actually passed away because he didn't take care of his body. This should be a reminder to all of us that thinking about others is important but also thinking about yourself is equally important. I often hear the saying If you can't take care of yourself, you can't take care of others. Like we talked in class about if you smile other people may smile as well (mirror effect), if you aren't happy I think others won't be happy as well. So it's important to stay happy and healthy. I never knew that there was an actual psychological symptom called Summit Fever where people can psychologically stop you from thinking about pain. This means that fulfillment>pain? Wow, I'm always fascinated about what the brain can do. But I can understand this because when I'm sick but I have to go to PE, I forget that I'm sick and run around but later on my conditions get worse.
When hearing the word teamwork, I always think of the quote "All for One and One for All." The story of the Tap Code was really moving. Communication doesn't have to be face to face but could be presented through actions. I think this is the same as the example on the previous page where people wouldn't say anything but with just a nod people gained strength. The latter part of the chapter talked about leaders being able to see the skills of his or her team and being to use them sufficiently. I don't think many companies are as nice as Bob in the R&D example though. If people aren't right for the job their either fired or moved to a lower position. I guess this is the point of the author. If more people were like Bob, the teamwork in a company would be stronger which equals to a better company.
