What will make or break a work-team?

A team, as the dictionary defines, is a group of people working together.

However I do not think that it is of such simplicity. A team,like a nation is formed when they have a same goal. They strive together as one, doing their best to accomplish their jobs.

A successful team is one that consists of teammates that are able to understand each other and do according to their fortes to help the team into achieving their common goal. They do not work individually. To be able to be a successful team, they should avoid deadly traps that might cause them to fail in their attempts to complete their project successfully.The various traps are as follows:

leaving out a certain member,

ignoring other member's comments or ideas,

not organizing,

not helping each member to solve their problems,

leaving one's job to other members who were trying to help,

not having an open heart to accept mistakes of others.

I had an unpleasant experience with my team a year back. My team members were terribly disorganised due to certain factors like the tam leader is doing nothing but rejecting all our ideas. My friends and I were also unable to fit in to each other's timetables. The only persons who had to complete the jo fully were me and my other member. There were supposed to be four people and we were to complete 2 projects together but at the end of the day only two people were responsible for he whole job of creating a blog and a really long powerpoint and loads of researching. My friend and I were extremely worn out andwere unable to enjoy our March Holidays. We returned to school sleepy-eyed and were unable to concentrate on lessons. Adding on, we were the only ones who did the presentation and yet they were still complaining that we did a really bad job! My friend and I were very pissed.

Having such an unpleasant encounter, I suggest that a team really needs to be responsible in our jobs and do every bit to help their team and not for their own benefit. It's all for one and one for all. If there is no pain, then there is no gain.

My First Four weeks in school

I had been looking forward to school for ages and it was rather a torture staying at home with nothing to do. I was extremely enthusiastic about entering a nine subject stream. However, I was devastated upon hearing that I was not allowed into the stream on my very firstweek of school. I felt cheated and that the school brought up false hopes for me. During the holidays, was told that my appeal was successful and I was over the moon during that period of time.I really felt that I was thrown into a trench.I really just got to learn to accept fate.

Presently, after much hassle with paperwork and terrible dilemma I dropped one of my subjects, Geography for Art. I thought everything would turn out fine but now I am so horrendously depressed over not being able to go to Perth or some Europe country with them. I am going to stay in Singapore and bore myself inside out. I have never been to Europe before and I am hoping I can one of these days.

The second week did not show much improvement though, time is like flying and I am unable to really take a break. I am tired.Really tired. Art, Dance, lessons, tuition and mountains and mountains of homework. Even though I am stressed out but I am happy. I am glad I am this busy because I can go home really late. Do not ask me why. It is a very long story.

Fortunately the third week arrived , matters changed for the good. The sec1 came although I did not really like one of them but ithought maybe I should wait much longer before I condemn her to my hell list. Forth week? Yes dead boring not much things happened too. Although maybe I was rather sick of staying back at leat 3 times per week. I am really very tired.

Luckily, the school provides computers in the library otherwise it is impossible for me to complete my blog. My relatonship with my father has not been very good these few days. He has been screaming his head off me for no rhyme or reason and I am furious with his odd attitude. He does not even allow me to touch the computer for work, yet let my sister use it to play Neopets. His ironical attitude is really confusing and makes my life in school difficult. I am unable to complete my school work in peace. I hope for a better week ahead.
