Looking at details...

To the Boys it may seems to be another debrief points from Sir Narash, but to me, it is an important lesson. Looking at details.

Just to keep the reader in the correct context, this happen yesterday while the Origami Team is trying to put together the wall. Because of the choice of materials, the "wall" is pretty heavy and the outline of the heart is done up yesterday, which is 2 days into the rallying for folding of hearts.

For me, when i got into the picture yesterday, it is a very natural response of me to be rather active giving suggestions and orders along the way to the Leaders. However, my Captain whom is also on the scene choose a different posture, a posture of relaxing at the sofa of the UG room.

Now, dun start pointing your finger and judge anyone over here. Matthew 7:1-2. =)

So the team struggle through with people even the leaders doing things that is so hands on that it seems that they do not have the room capacity to look into other details. Can be as straight forward as "Lunch have the Boys/myself taken", "Is the line straight?", "What is going to happen tomorrow?" etc. In one sense, everyone was just looking so inwardly that they are just happy to doing their stuff because it is the task assign to them, that they miss out the details. They miss out details that is necessary for  the success of the full picture, because the full picture is the combinations of all the small details - something i learn from Sir Narash.

So during the last 15 minutes before the School lock us in for the night, Sir Narash did the debrief and that is when he shares that even though he "seems" to be slacking at the sofa, he is really picking up the details that has happen on the ground so that he can share during debrief. He is allowing the struggle to happen so that it will be a learning journey for them. He is Not slacking after all and indeed did a lot deeper work than me whom only focus on the "now" issue. See the difference.

Instead of firefighting, one chooses to focus the details so that there can be learning. No doubt through firefighting there can also be learning, there is much lesser learning as compared to taking a step back and observe.

So for the Boys, i hope that they learn that sometimes "How is it going to look like" is important, but "What steps is necessary to make it happen" is even more important. And as followers, seek to support the leader as much as you can. So that the leader can really see the full pictures and look for flaws, the details.

As for me, I need to level up in the art also. Its hard for me but i going to keep trying.

Cheers!
