카지노 게임 컬렉션While you카지노 게임 컬렉션re at a university you don카지노 게임 컬렉션t realize how unique and special that university can be,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Feustel. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Whether you realize it or not while you카지노 게임 컬렉션re there, those experiences you have, the friends you meet, the colleagues you meet, the professionals you meet, all have a very significant impact on your life.카지노 게임 컬렉션
In his address to graduates, Dr. Feustel described a training exercise he underwent after becoming an astronaut that exemplified for him the true values of leadership and perseverance, but also the importance of being an effective follower. During a cold weather survival exercise, he attempted to remove a tree stump from the spot the team had chosen as a campsite for the night. Hacking away at the stump for nearly an hour, he had made little progress and was beginning to tire.
Dr. Feustel explained how a simple comment from a subordinate in that trying moment 카지노 게임 컬렉션 which could have easily served to demotivate 카지노 게임 컬렉션 instead spurred him into taking action.

카지노 게임 컬렉션When I reflect back on what I learned that day, there is one primary lesson about leadership and followership that became apparent,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션A good leader is only as strong as his or her followers. My fellow astronauts knew that, as the leader, I felt a responsibility to clear that stump. He could also sense my fatigue and doubt. As a follower, he knew that the best way to support the leader was to motivate and touch on my obligation to the team. His words did just that.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Speaking to the graduating class 카지노 게임 컬렉션 most of whom were from nursing or other healthcare fields 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Feustel highlighted the important role they will play in serving those in need. He reminded the graduates of their obligation 카지노 게임 컬렉션 to themselves and their patients 카지노 게임 컬렉션 to carry out their duties to the best of their ability, knowing that the reward for a job well-done 카지노 게임 컬렉션is simply having it done well.카지노 게임 컬렉션
카지노 게임 컬렉션You chose a career in healthcare, not for recognition, but because you truly believe it카지노 게임 컬렉션s important to care for and improve the quality of life for others,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Feustel. 카지노 게임 컬렉션So remember that.카지노 게임 컬렉션
While his career may have taken him away from the city, the country and even off the planet itself, Dr. Feustel says that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Kingston will always hold a special place in his life.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Both of our children were born at Kingston General Hospital, so in a way this is like their home 카지노 게임 컬렉션 this is where it all started for us,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he explains. 카지노 게임 컬렉션In fact, I can look back on the events that transpired here that are directly related to me being successful as an astronaut. So you want to continue to nurture those things. I think, as you get older you realize the importance of education and growing those interests and finding a way, some way, to inspire even one person at one of those institutions to go on and do great things because anything카지노 게임 컬렉션s possible. This is where you can plant those seeds.카지노 게임 컬렉션
