There are different opinions regarding the efficiency of working as a team. Although some might think otherwise, personally, I strongly convinced that it is better to work as a team than as an individual to succeed. In the following paragraphs, I will explain the detailed and logical reasons over my opinion. First of all, working as a team makes people to have various ideas about the work. This means that they can get a lot of different ideas and thoughts from others by working in a group. This will help them to solve the problem wisely. If it were not for others' ideas, they tend to have only one idea which are not proper to solve the problem. My sister's experience is the perfect example of this. She had to plan an event for foreigners who came to our country just a few weeks ago. She didn't know not only what they need, but also what do they like to do. She decided to work with her coworker who had been in China for 20 years, and my sister can make a perfect plan for the foreigners. Furthermore, all of them liked the events, which makes my sister to get promotion from her boss. As this example shows, working together enables people to get lots of good ideas from others. Secondly, people should work as a team in order to succeed because they can easily know what their mistakes and problems are from others. As the saying, “You have to know yourself,” a person has to know about himself well. Without the process of knowing oneself, each one cannot solve the problem he has. I mean the more a person acknowledge himself well, the more he or she changes to a positive way. According to the research conducted by Pusan National University, more than 65% of people who already make a success in their fields think that the main reason that they succeed is that they are good at knowing what their problem is. And almost all of them do this with and by their team members. Thus, it is safe to say that working together makes it easy to recognize their problem, which is one of the most important factors to succeed in life. For these reasons above, I am strongly convinced that working as a team is better than working as an individual to succeed. This is because people can get various ideas from others and this enables people to find their mistakes easily. |
