Assignment II: Psychology Service - The Summary of The Geese Story

  1. Motivation Point of View.

They support (motivate) each other alot. This is the first thing came from my mind after I read the story and I’m sure it’s because they have a very high consideration, they start this together, so they had to finish this together. As it is said earlier in Mr. Yohanes’ presentation about the story, those geese have one same destination, one same purpose, and one same goal which is heading to the warmer place.

Let me give you the examples:

  1. They fly in “V formation to fight the ressistance of the air much easier so that their flight efficiency automatically goes higher up to 71% than flying alone. For their consideration towards this goal is so reasonable and worth to be imitated into the reality.

  2. Their respect to each other is the most attractive point, they quacking along the way in order to support their leader. They know how to encourage each other, now thats what we called a respect.

  3. And when their leader is getting tired, they exchange that position with other goose. I think this is also one of motivation and respect because they hold their goal so tight and they didnt want it failed in the middle of the road so they keep on flying forward, leader is changeable between each other. So flexible for animal’s way of living.

  4. And also, when one geese is down, even though he had to leave the formation but some of the geese will keep him company (that is so sweet!). They will stay with him untill he is able to keep up with the other again or untill he leave the form forever (dead). I never see such consideration towards each other like this in our real life, reality is way cruel than it seems.


  1. Leadership Point of View.

Their leadership is worth two thumbs up. They are able to enroll with every cases, problems and deffects that comes to them. They know how to handle the obstacle whatever it was, from air ressistance, encouragement, filling each other emptyness and needs, less is more, consideration towards the community. They realize how important to live in social is, that’s why they are bravely put such a beautiful sportmanship into a strong leadership.


  1. Cooperation Point of View.

    Why did I put the cooperation point of view in the end, if you would ask? That’s because without motivation and leadership, it won’t bring a good teamwork (cooperation). The geese are able to compare the good and bad effect of the things around them, such as:

    • The geese choose to fly together better than alone.

    • The geese realize the impact when they choose to fly alone.

    • The geese know how to share with each other.

    • The geese know how to support each other and how important it is.


So, here we come to my conclution...

All of this amazing behaviour of animal were come from a high consideration towards living in society, in community. I mean, they are geese. But they are realizing many things that are rarely done like that in reality, beautifully. In the end of the presentation, Mr. Yohanes’ put some moral message based on the story which is sounds like this:


Lesson 5:


Let’s stay beside each other no matter what the differences.

Specially in times of difficulty and great challenges.


If we bond together and support each other...

If we make true the spirit of teamwork...

Regardless of our differences, we can rise to meet our challenge.


If we understand the real value of friendship...

If we aware of the feeling of sharing...


LIFE WILL BE EASIER AND THE PASSING OF YEARS MORE FULFILLING...


Those words of him are so true! And I’m sure that the main problem is consideration, it is always about consideration towards each other. “Human can never live alone.” I think this story reminds us, Human, to be more cooperative, motivating each other and build the real leadership. YES! We can do it much better that the geese can. All we have to do is that three points: cooperation, motivation and leadership. Last but not least is believe in yourself that you can do it.
