Group works
We're back in school and as expected, we've begun group projects. I always used to tell myself that I hate group work. You know, because some people want to be leeches and then there's the other sort; who want to carry the whole group on their heads and do it from only their knowledge. It's in group works that we see how difficult it can be to tolerate another's opinion— must be why Twitter wars are happening almost all the time.
I realise how attached I get to my opinions. I'm so attached that when they are attacked, I feel like the person has got a personal something for me. A lot of people seem to feel that way. We all like and agree with our opinions. A quote from one of the stoics—
Here goes
“It is impossible for a person to begin to learn what he thinks he already knows.”~ Epictetus
It's impossible.
So I'm going to start with me and try to see my opinions and views in an objective way. It's not going to be easy but we'll see.
I never liked group work not because I don't like to hear others opinion but my note always drops because of the others. I work hard, they do nothing which affects me.
They were nonchalant about their notes?
Most don't care and are lazy. If one can do the job why work? Teachers know and hope this way the lazy clowns will pass. For me and many others, it's demotivating.
