I was just thinking about how important team work is both professionally and socially. I believe that humans are selfish. It is our nature. However, when it involves more than yourself, compromise has to occur.
That's where team work comes in. Throughout our K-12 and even college years, we always had group projects where we were forced to work with other people. Almost everyone has the same story... one person in the group is the leader and there is always one slacker who does not do anything but adds his/her name to the project.
Even at our jobs, we have to work as a team for whichever department we belong to. We are forced to compromise, negotiate and cooperate in order to achieve the best results.
However, I did not realize how crucial team work is in personal lives. If a group of people want to do something together, there needs to be a cooperation from all parties involved. Not everyone will be pleased with the itinerary, but compromise must be made.
I don't think that a person can be successful without learning how to work with various types of people.
