Reflecting on How to Become a Good Team Member 河流爲何走彎路

Today I feel it is necessary to reflect on how to become a good team member based on my past experiences and lessons. I realized that I need to:

今天覺得有必要認真總結一下自己怎樣才能成爲一個好的團隊隊員，我覺得我應該在以下方面多下功夫，寫在這裏，立此存照，哪天忘了可以回來看看：

1. Be humble; 要謙卑。

2. Be kind and compassionate; 要善。

3. Learn to put myself in other people's shoes and consider others first at any time and under any circumstances. Ideally, I hope I can achieve this: ”Whenever something happens or whenever a situation comes about, even if it's a minor thing, my first thought is of others, for it's already become natural for me--I just think of others first.”(by Mr. Li Hongzhi , from “Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston”)  要學會站在別人的角度考虑問題，要學會考慮别人，理想狀態是，能做到「每当发生一件事情的时候、出现一种情况的时候，哪怕一件小事，我的第一念首先想到别人，因为已经形成自然的了，我就是先去想别人。」（引自李洪志先生《各地讲法二》〈二零零二年波士頓法會講法〉）

4. Be patient. Watch the steps of others, adjust myself so that the team is moving together; 要耐心，要根據團隊的情況調整自己的步伐。

5. Be obedient; 要服從。

6. Learn from the rivers, which never try to take the shortest or the most straightforward path, but will ultimately reach the sea no matter how many detours, turns and curved paths they have to take during the process; 要學會走彎路。「河流不走直路走彎路，因爲走彎路是自然界的一種常態，走直路而是一種非常態，正因為走彎路，讓它避開了一道道障礙，最終抵達了遙遠的大海。」

7. Let go of myself. 要放下自我。
