standing in the rain...

besides the many good examples that i had from people around, one of it stands out often. a simple but definite example of a leader.

10 years ago in 1st KL BB, we, the Boys were doing drill on a cloudy day. and it started to rain. of course we had to stand still and keep doing drill in the rain which got heavier and heavier. we were cold and soaking wet including the inside of our boots. the drill commander also giving commands in the rain.

an officer came by walking in the shaded pathway. after watching us for a while, he took a few steps out and stood by the drill commander. in the heavy rain. till we finished. he obviously was soaked too.

it reminds me of the significance of the things you do, intentional or unintentional. it'll affect those learning. just as i was impacted 10 years ago and i still remember.

yup... keep carrying the pews... if the leader has carried 15 pews, the leader doesn't need to beg the team to carry 5. the team will carry 10 by their own choice.

unfortunately, many times nowadays, such acts or example happens only when there's publicity or people watching.
