Group work...

Sometimes, working with people can be so difficult. Yes, in real life, teamwork is considered a life skill and you got to have it in order to survive in this realistic and practical world. I tried for years and I must say that working with people successfully all depends on luck. Choosing the people that you can work with requires luck, ensuring that these people share the same views and mindsets as you also requires luck. Basically, it's all about luck isn't it?

I mean, after years of studying, I already have a clear idea of what kind of people I can work with, with minimize conflicts and clashes of ideas. But still, sometimes it's not up to me to decide. I simple cannot stand people who either think too much or work at an extremely slow speed. Yes, you may say that people work differently, but being ridiculously slow should not be tolerated! 

Take for instance, I am not working in a group where I have to work with a new group of people. I have my own speed of doing things and sometimes, I already find myself being too slow. Yet, some of my groupmates are even slower than me. They can take ages to walk, talk and think. Why is that so? Yes, the idea of waiting for people is just uncontrollably annoying, at least it is to me. 

Haiz... And speaking about people who think too much. I always think that I am a thinker. I like to ponder over small matters, constantly finding wasy to improve whatever that has been done. But now, I meet my competitors. They are far more good skilful than me. All I can say is, I don't know how this group work will turn out. Please prove me wrong...

Update: Handed in the project and I guess, this is quite an experience to learn from. It didn't turn out very bad but I won't want to go through it again. Things to remind myself, dun be pessimistic.
