Responds to question 1 in Chapter 4 'Stamina'
When I step back and come to think of my own physical health, I cannot say that I'm taking a lot of care on myself. Rather, I tell others to get rest when seeing them working hard. This does not mean that I deliberately choose to self sacrifice myself in order to have other team members take some rest. In fact, I could allocate tasks to everyone equally when having a group project. However, when dealing with my own task which I do not share with anybody else, I often stay awake over night (or keep my vigil) and try to finish up all the works. I cannot stand myself having a lot of tasks at a time, so I try to finish them as fast as I could do in relatively a short time.
I totally agree with what the author describes that leaders do not necessary have innate strength in physical conditions (like how Shackleton was). I personally regard myself as a person with strength and good stamina, but if there's anything I could improve on maintaining my health, I should be working on little by little to finish my works (not doing it in short time) and get enough rest each day.
In short, like Ken has advised me in last class, I should get more sleep...
