Gobi Expedition:Training and growth
At noon on June 21, 2021, in the hot and desolate Dunhuang Gobi during the sweltering summer, after 2 days and 1 night of challenging team battles on foot, 6 teams from Step rushed past the Ta'er Temple. The end point next to the ruins together completed the 58-kilometer Gobi challenge. The theme of "Step by Step, One Heart and One Road", Step's first Gobi Expedition was successfully concluded!
This time, the Step has experienced the cruel test of the Gexing, and has grown through the purgatory temper. More than 70 members of the Newstar team flew to the vast Gobi desert, chasing me in riverbeds, canyons, saline-alkali soils and black Gobi; withstood the test of the high temperature of 40 degrees on the surface, many people stepped on the bubble on the soles of their feet and reluctantly passed the Ground stones; before the sharp camel stab, blindfolded, follow the guidance of colleagues with complete trust, and walk through the risky Gobi; when exhausted, teamwork, carrying the injured colleague to the finish line. Never abandon, never give up...Of course, they also saw the unprecedented wonders-they met the Yadan landform, the ruined but majestic city of Suoyang, the towering Taer Temple, and they saw the vastness. The crystal clear starry sky, I saw the rising sun and the sky full of glow... "One person can go fast, a group of people can go further", this is a popular saying in the Gobi, and it is also a team walking through. A true portrayal of Colleagues who fought side by side in the past have become Gobi’s teammates today. In the harsh environment of no man’s land, the team is the most reliable support for each other and the most powerful source of energy.
For this mission, the Step team made full preparations. Since its launch in early February, after 100 days of training, a team of 80 people completed two long marches. From 10,000 steps per day in the first month, to 4 kilometers at least 3 times a week later, to 8 kilometers at least 3 times a week later, gradually improve the exercise index. There are many people who run 7 times a week, and there are even runners who insist on running 8 kilometers every day for 10 consecutive weeks. In addition to daily training, Step organized a selection competition for all contestants, conducted practical training according to the difficulty of the competition, and tested the training results. Some teams felt that this was not enough.
It needs to uphold the concept of "communication, collaboration, simplicity, and efficiency", from R&D, manufacturing to sales, and service, focusing on customers. create value for customers. In the vast Gobi, the hard natural environment, for the ideals and beliefs, the Step team did not shrink back in the face of difficulties, united as one, always insisted on not reaching the goal, and never gave up the energy, hand in hand, rushed to the end. This is the most profound part of Ge Xing experience. In the first Gobi Expedition, there are also some shortcomings worthy of improvement: very few players retired due to various reasons, some teams need to further strengthen teamwork to play a better team spirit, competition awareness is too strong, etc., we will face the shortcomings, Continue to summarize experience and lessons, in order to do better in the future of Gexing, treat our work and customers with the spirit of Gexing, and better customer-centric and create value for customers!
