Do It!

Title of book : Do it!

Author : Rob Waring and Maurice Jamall

Pages : 32 pages

Personal Responses : ( Lessons for Living)

Actually there are a lot of lessons that I learned from this short story, but there is the one that is interesting and important. This story, Do It, told me that work together in a team is not easy at all. It is because each member of the group has different habit, different skill, and different way of thinking. But we have to overcome the difference by having a big tolerance and a big spirit to finish the work. If each member of the team does that, I am sure we will make it.

The lessons connect to my own life, just like usual, because I once experienced the similar thing like that. It had happened when I was in senior high school. It was about my basketball team in senior high school. Each member of the team has a different skill. My friend who had a small body really good at dribbling, and my friend who had a tall body really good at shooting while myself had a good skill at rebounding due to the fact that I have a big body. At first, those things make us hard to find a good strategy but after we realized that our differences could be the best weapon against other teams. We started to work hard and finally at the end of the year we won a tournament.

Yes, I do agree with you that working in a team is not that easy as we might think. We have to trust our team mate otherwise we will get difficulties in running the team project. I know that trusting somebody else is not an easy job but we have to do that. However, we should have to be independent. We cannnoty relay on somebody else all the time

the more the merrier, isn't it? when you can work well in team, i think you'll survive wherever you are. doing sports is one good way to develop this skill. anyway, it will be good if there's a summary of the story...
