Reflection On Korean War Pows
Reflect and Respond
1. As you read the stories about the Korean War POWs, how would you explain the connection between encouragement and success?
In the story they was not receiving any encouragement therefore they gave up on life. Encouraging someone can play an important part in someone’s life and that could lead to success or it either can go in the opposite direction. The connection between the two are you cannot have one without the other.
2. One of the most important ways we connect with others is by lifting them up. As a leader, who or what are you most likely to point people toward during times of crisis? Why?
Personally as a leader I will always point people in a positive direction. For example, my friend is down here at Georgia …show more content…
Southern University and he was talking about school isn’t for him and he’s going to dropout and this was his freshmen year. The only reason he felt the way he felt because nothing was working in his favor with his grades. I told him times will be hard and nothing is going to come easy and you just can’t give up once one door closes, you have to keep pushing and try harder. After we had that talk about school and I painted him that picture that no matter what you going through and how hard it may be don’t give up and he listened and he’s now a junior and grades has improved. He tells me if it wasn’t for me he probably would’ve been home looking for a stable job just because he wanted to give up.
3. Like any skill, it takes intentional effort to speak encouraging words to your family, friends, and team members. Think of a particular person and practice giving him or her a genuine compliment. Remember to make it sincere, specific, public, and personal.
Mother, I just wanted to let you know that you’re a strong women and I appreciate everything you have done for the family by yourself.
It’s not getting over looked but I wanted to be the one to tell you that I am proud of you and look how you raised us we’re making you proud. Thank you for everything!
Self- Assessment
1. How would you rate yourself as an encourager?
10
2. Why did you give yourself that score?
I gave myself a 10 because I have watch many people improve after I encourage others to do better on whatever the case may be also I have had many people to tell me I do a great job helping people better themselves.
3. What's one thing you could do to improve in this area?
Nothing, because I feel that I am good at it.
4. Each time you relate to others, you have a choice to build them up or tear them down. In the analogy of the invisible bucket and dipper, do you tend to pour into others or dip from others buckets? Explain your answer with a personal example.
I pour into their buckets. For example whenever somebody comes to me with an problem and they don’t know how to deal with it and just ready to give up and walk away, my words that I tell them help change their mind set about the situation just as I was explaining in the reflect and respond section question
