From the moment I entered the venue, I didn’t expect embarrassment to unfold. No sense of time, no execution, no team cohesion, no sense of responsibility, no discipline—this small gathering completely humiliated me. Was it a shame as a team leader? At that moment, I just wanted to disappear into a hole. I realized how inadequate I am; the vanity I’d always been proud of was now rubbed in the dust…
Coach Sun’s remarks struck a chord with me, making me re-examine my work and mindset:
- Self-righteousness: I’ve been too self-righteous at work, always thinking I’m right. But in reality, the company’s arrangements have their own plans. Following the leadership’s arrangements is the best form of cooperation; overestimating one’s own capabilities is a mistake.
- Blind obedience: Correct values and independent opinions are essential. What suits others may not suit you, so don’t follow blindly.
- Blaming others: Complaining is useless. Instead of blaming others when encountering problems, focus on doing your best to solve them.
- Self-satisfaction: Indulging in past achievements and fantasies is unhelpful. The best past is still the past; it’s better to cherish the present and work hard to create a better future.
The game “The Maze” also gave me a profound lesson: walking around the rope ten times without finding the exit didn’t mean there was no exit—it just meant I hadn’t found it yet. Don’t be stubborn or trapped in your own small world; as the old saying goes, “Listen to advice and you’ll eat your fill.”
When I walked outdoors and saw the high platform, panic surged within me—fear, tension, and anxiety filled my heart. But the moment I stood on it and jumped, I realized how simple it was to take that first step.
work, we must push our limits, break free from the cage of mediocrity, and strive to become more outstanding.
What shocked me most was the team’s collaborative spirit. When veteran and new employees worked tirelessly to reduce my punishment, my defenses crumbled. Even though I didn’t know their names before the training, the team’s cohesion was undeniable.
This punishment competition revealed a truth: when I felt wronged at work, I forgot the support of superiors, bosses, and family in life. When I felt tired, those supporting me were probably even more exhausted.
IV. Summary and Gratitude
It’s time to put aside arrogance, self-satisfaction, blind obedience, and complaints, and be a positive, optimistic, and sunny person.
I would like to thank General Manager Yan and other company leaders for providing such a valuable training and growth opportunity. I believe that under their leadership, Zhongxing will go further and become stronger.
