DISTRICT THEME AND LOGO
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
The District Administration 2008-09 believes in
working together as a team. This has it's own magic. While most of us prefer
to work alone, we often overlook the fact that minds are always better than
one and four better than two. Most of us fail to meet our own expectations
even though we are competent, creative and hard working because we have yet
to discover the advantage of working in togetherness or as a team. Leaders
succeed because they not only have the ability to dream but they get others
to dream along with them.
Togetherness hardly ever fails - It only
fails when individuals cannot rise above their narrow interests and their
limited focus in life. But as a team, they succeed as they put their energies
together and such synergy creates a new magic.
It is easier to win together - Your shortcomings,
if any, are actually neutralized in a team. As the team focuses on winning, It is
easier to strengthen the hands of the team members to win.
A great learning experience - You learn to see
the efforts of others in a positive light as it contributes to your success as
well. You also learn from the way others handle problems, how they find solutions
and implement them with speed. As they interact and brainstorm all the time, there
is more enthusiasm and energy leading to a high level of motivation.
Togetherness pushes you ahead - You often
shy away from setting goals and deadlines for yourself. It is mainly because
at the back of your mind, you fear failure or procrastinate. In a team, both
goal setting and goal achievement can be easily handled. When the team succeeds,
everyone enjoys the sweetness of success.
Capabilities overshadow flaws - In a team, one
tends to accept others with their faults. You realize that you are not perfect
either, and that the others in your team accept you as you are. Each individual
has different abilities. Some are good at looking at a larger picture, while
some excel at examining minute details. Naturally, more creative solutions
are thrown up as the team works together.
Work gets done faster - Speed is another
characteristic that exemplifies teamwork. As many work in tandem, they end
up doing more work and with greater speed, as they will gallop towards the
goal and the deadline.
Togetherness opens your mind - Teamwork also
helps us to look at our ideas with a sense of distance as other team members
dissect it and go for the most refined option.
Good teams work with the kind of camaraderie that
may be rarely visible. The tougher it gets, the closer such team members come
as they learn to trust and rely on each other.
Let's then work together and work as if winning
is our only goal. You'll be surprised at how easy it is then.
DISTRICT LOGO:
It is a true that as Lions, we serve the needy.
My Slogan for the Lions of our District this year is "Let's Work Together".
Let us make this our goal, our focus and target excellence in the process.
To excel is to be the best. The position of excellence is reserved for
dedicated hardworking and committed human beings. Lions cannot afford
to be anything but "PRIMUS INTERPARES" (FIRST AMONG EQUALS).
So let's get going by working together to enrich Lionism.
