About This Quote
There are no boundaries among the geese. How can you have boundaries if you fly? When a group of geese fly, they form a circle and move forward as a group. They do not look back to see where the others are or if they should go faster or slower. They simply move as a unit and that is okay for them because it is what they know works best.
One goose may be leading, another goose may be in the middle, another goose may be at the rear, but they all work together as one. The same way that geese know who leads and who is in the middle, we must also learn to know our own strengths and weaknesses. We must learn how to work together.
Having boundaries can cause problems if we think we know everything about everyone else. However, when we allow ourselves to listen to others and recognize their strengths and weaknesses, we can become stronger overall.
