Ch10 "Tenacious Creativity"

When I was more younger than now, I always felt unpleasant and depressed when some problems occurred. However, as I got older, of course I am unpleasant when problems happen, I realized that the situation would change someday. The bad situation would not continue forever.
As long as human live, we have ups and downs. Therefore just being depressing is useless and it's better to consider the way to get over the problem.
There is my favorite　phrase related to this attitude towards problems, that is, "Sunny days will come someday". I forgot where I learned this words, but I try to always have this words in my mind and to being optimistic.
This is my core beliefs about problems and obstacles.

Chapter8 Lighten Up!

In my team, many members often tell jokes and humors, so I always laugh while being in the team.
Of course, we are very serious while playing, but I think it's good way to feel relax by telling jokes and laughing before and after playing.

What's more, we always look for chances to celebrate the "small wins" during the game.
For example, every time we score a goal, all the members, not only players but also substitutes and audiences, gathered and celebrate one goal.
I think it's most exciting time and by celebrating, every member's enthusiasm to win increases .

Chapter7

In my soccer team when I was a high school student, we decided to discuss if we have any problems, and that's one reason we had good teamwork.
I think it is good that we often had a meeting, so every team members had a chance to speak out.
Also, the leader(captain) of the team was good because she tried hard to understand what each members thought on team. She often talked to members one on one.
Though conflicts sometimes happened, we got over them by discussing the issue together, so I think it's important to talk openly when we have conflicts.

This time I'd like to focus on "mistakes" mentioned in chapter 4.

As you know, when we play some sports, we make some mistakes like an error in baseball games. The responsibility of the mistake is quite big especially in teamsports because only one mistake can lead the team to lose the game.
In fact, when I was the member of a basketball team in my Jr. highschool, the other members except me were better players than me. I ofetn made mistakes in games and felt guilty that the team lost because of me.
I ofetn got into a so-called slump, which I felt so depressed that I couldn't play well at all.

However, one day my coach said to me, "Everyone makes mistakes and you have next chances even if you make mistakes, so never mind during the game."
After that I decided to change the way of reacting to mistakes. When I made mistakes, I tried to make up for it by performing a good play. And then I got able to play without being afraid of making mistakes.
Also, although I didn't have good skills of basketball compared with other teammates, I have a confidence in my stamina, so I tried to make use of it. I kept runnnig hard unitl the end of the game though other mambers got exhausted around the end of the game.
I thought that was one of the contributions to the team.
After changing my thought, I could recover from my slump naturally.

I larned that thinking too much about mistakes and only getting depressed was meaningless, and the atitude that trying to learn from mistakes and see the next chances were important.
I think this is true for other situations other than sports.


I'm afraid that my reaction is not the answer expected in Expedition Log, but this is what came to my mind after reading chapter 4.
I'm sorry to post late.
