We need motivation to do things, even simply to live. Everyone has their own working needs, their own personal needs to be done, so that everything in our life can continue functioning. I thinking it’s just like teamwork, all parts are important, the team cannot function with a missing part. We want to finish the work perfectly and efficiently; it is the motivation that does the work behind the curtains. Everyone works much harder, with motivation. It’s the same way in like, the motivation can be everything, such as our parents, our friends, and also yourself. With the time passing, we improve ourselves as a person, to make life much happier and hopeful. In 7 days we stayed in Monticle, all of us had already learnt something, and we will learn more in the next 21 days. We all know Monticle is really different from other normal summer camp. We came here not just for fun, it simply wasn’t enough. We attended Monticle to improve ourselves as a human being, also to do training, teamwork training. So we may happened on such different things or the thing we never happened on, but we have confidence that we finish all the things, we won’t give up anything and try our best to finish them. We learn things that’s why we are here at Monticle. We want to improve that’s the motivation we done everything.
In Day 1, we started our camp. At that time, some of us didn’t know each other, and maybe shy to introduce ourselves. We just stayed in Monticle and learnt some skills that we need to use in next 27-day-trip. We were in different teams and did different jobs. Some of us prepared the cooking food we need, some of us helped to clean inside and outside, some of us be the navigator to discuss the lines we will drive. We did everything ourselves, it was so cool and tired as well.
In Day 2, we were told to get up at half pass three in the morning. It was so early but everyone did it, nobody late at that day. In the afternoon, we learned to make the camp. The sun shone brightly outside at that day. Camp would be the most important things in our trip. We would spend most of the nights in it. So we practiced again and again under the sun. It was really hot, but nobody said they wanted to stop to have some rest. In truth, we tried our best be made the camp much better and much faster. All of us join in practiced making the camp, because we knew it would be the most important skills that made us work much hard, it was the motivation not let us give up.
In Day 3, we started our across Canada trip. It was the first day that we just stayed on the car, so long time, we felt boring, and want to change. We haven’t got many things to do, because we hadn’t known each others yet. But if we wanted to make the teamwork perfectly, we must talk to others and understood others. So we try to introduce ourselves to others, and try to commented more.
In Day 4, we happed on the heavy rain. We had to put down the wet camp. It was much more difficult than put down the dry camp, and we hadn’t got chance to practiced it ago. What a terrible beginning at that day. It was our first time, so we cost a long time to finish the work. And we believed that we could did better next time.
In Day 5, we wouldn’t camping again. Instead, we lived in motel today. In the afternoon, we played some games on the car, we knew each other much better. At night, we had the dinner the cook team cooked. They cooked much better than the last two days. They needed cooked 30 people’s food each lunch or meals. I thought it was really difficult, but they did it and did much and much better, they were really hardworking with the food they cooked. After dinner, the washing team should washed 30 plates and forks and also other cooking items. The temperature dropped down so much, so the water that they washed the things with was really cold. But they said nothing, just washed the things in the fastest time, and clean the things as clean as they can at the same time.
In Day 6, we started to have special training in the morning. At that day, we did some training that should be done in teamwork, that taught us to communicating with others so that we could finish some special work. All the training haven’t cost a lot of time, but truly taught us something. One thing was, we should communicating when we were in trouble. Other one was don’t give up just try it, and also when other people have some problems, we should help them as much as we can.
In Day 7, we went the mall to buy the things we need. After then, we enjoyed ourselves in the mall. Some of us had some food, some of us went skating, and some of us went to join in some activities in the mall. We spent 6 hours in it with our new friends, talking about the things we like and playing together. It was really good. Time past so fast, that we have already pass 7 days in our 28-day-trip. We started our trip in Toronto and when we get to the North Circle we will back to Toronto. We had already happen on something we never knew and the trip will be much harder than before, I think we can deal with every different things, because we wanted to improve ourselves, that’s our motivation. When we happened on the heavy rain, in reduce. Some new trouble, we finished the job at last when we had to sleep at the parking lot, it was really cold outside, nobody said anything. When we should be moving our things in the rainy day at night, everybody who needn’t cooking helped it, nobody just stayed inside and did nothing. When we had some special training, for example, if someone is hurt during the mountain climbing or other time, others should carry the hurts. It was really hard to someone, but nobody give up, and some groups went to help others as soon as they finish their own job.
Because of the motivation we should always improve, we won’t say ‘give up’ to any troubles and difficult things; since “give up” is not in our dictionary of motivation. We are all motivated to do our best and to motivate others. We will not give up and we will try our very best and if we do not do that we will have failed to accomplish our mission of success. We have learned many things from our intelligent and motivating leader Billy Lui. We learned to never have people idling around, not doing anything, learned how to adapt to situations such as cold and wet climate and learned as a team that communication is key to understand each person personality and their health conditions especially. It is just like a boss in a company. For it to be successful and for it to flourish, the boss must now everyone employees ability to work and as well as the machines. If there is a flaw in one of these things than the company will not operate very effectively. For example if an employee is sick, the boss may have to give that person’s job to another person to handle. If it was a machine that was broken than the boss would have to fix it before the workers started using it. There are also more to a company for example using ads to expand your company’s presence. Just like Mcdonalds, everyone knows who they are and knows what they have to offer, either bad or good. But luckily everyday in these companies there are always motivated people to help make these companies successful. But of course the boss plays a big role of choosing his employees that help make it successful. Motivation plays a big part in life, to keep you going. A leader is a dealer of hope, and motivation giver, the person that keeps the entire cooperation moving, functioning, and maintaining a happy and decent environment. A world without motivation is a dead and spiritless world, there’s no point to look forward, no point to look ahead, as everything is dead, no motivation. Hopeless.
There are many things that our intelligent leader has taught us and if I were to list it out it would be endless. But the ones that I have mentioned are the key things in this camp. We have already and will continue to learn important life philosophies from Monticle.
We need motivation to do things, even simply to live.
