Only By Working Together, You Can See Each Other's True Colour

We all knows that many problems will occur when it comes to group working. Doesn't matter when you are a student, or a working adult. Problems like team mate not cooperating, lack of communication and understanding, and irresponsible team mate always give us a lot of trouble in working on a project. Sometimes dealing with all these pressures under a limited time is very frustrated too.


I am so 'unlucky' that I get to do deal with all these problems often and I think I sort of get used to them. Every time when I was almost to the point of emotionally breakdown, I find some new way to adapt and comprise to the obstacles.


First thing when you are stressing out and all the problems seem like going out of control, take a deep breath and think of something happy, something that is not related to your current problem at all. After that, convince yourself that you will always be able to find a solution and this is not the end of the world. Whenever you feel frustrated again, repeat recalling all the happy things for example what you are going to do after this project ends. This seems like really cheering and uplifting.


When it comes to problem with team mate, the best solution is to talk to others and listen to others. Communication is very important for you all can know what problems are you facing. If you never try and talk to others about your problem, your team mate might assume that you are fine with everything and things are under control.


However, there are many cases that team mate doesn't listen to you. ( LOL I am sure when you start reading that I said communication, the first thing you think of is they wouldn't listen to you.) Okay, if this is the case and communication serves no help, the only thing you can do is let go. See if in the whole case, you are not getting support from most of your team mate, stop arguing. Adapt and obey. Arguing are just going to create more and more problem which is the last thing that you will wish to have. Comprise is the way to keep yourself from stressing all the way out. But there is one thing that I will do when the condition is like this, I will start praying and helping on finishing the project earlier so that I don't have to suffer in this type of conflict anymore. Nice huh?


Besides this, I bet you have your own problem too. Never keep things until the last minute as we all know that you can never finish it. Do it under your own schedule and keep track on your progress with your team mate as well. This is almost as important as communicating.


Now... do you feel better on working in a group? I hope you do. Group working could be really fun! Good luck!
