Our Iceberg is Melting

I read the book entitled "Our Iceberg is Melting" with great interest recently. The story book telling about how penguin community overcoming the threat of iceberg melting that is affecting their home. The characters as portrayed by various penguins is a reflection of characters of human being that we are facing everyday. While we have leaders who are good in engaging people and leading the solution finding mission, we have also leaders who are dead wood do nothing but trying at every opportunity to discredit others. We also have young generation who care about the environment and to take the initiative to bring to attention of others, we also have youth do not care much and cocoon themselves within their own comfort zone. We also have the personalities that are good in bridging different generation of people, in researching based on scientific and rational approach, in articulating the issues and challenges well, in volunteering themselves for any pilot project and others numerous role plays. While individually everyone will have their own speciality and strength in which under some circumstances is of no use, collectively these strengths can be of great use if synergising is done.

The Book told us how individual penguin with own strength comes together as a team for stronger voice and actions. I presume we should identify such personalities and to bring them on board if community development is there to excel.
