Hey people!
Just here to share some of my thoughts and I hope it'll make a difference!Well.. from what I saw today, after what Mr Mok mentioned about WR, many of us looked pretty demoralised. Saw many worried and worn-out faces.. After all that has happened today, I've really learnt many valuable lessons. PW is definitely not simply a work-based project but also one that develops our character. Perseverance is no doubt required as it is a yr long project. And throughout the course of this year, I hope we'll learn how to take initiatives, to put others before self and to build up our team.
We all take the same subject combination and we all have the same workload, meaning we're equally busy. When we've completed our parts, let us learn how to take the initiative to help our group members who are struggling, to learn to offer to help to compile the work and not just leave it to one person. Afterall, you all are a group! To learn to put others before self, not concentrating on how much you've done but to learn to think of how you are able to contribute as much as you can to your group to further improve your project. But of course, each of us should not be free riders but fulfil our responsibilities as group members to complete our task. At the same time, if you feel too much pressure and stress, learn to speak up to ask for help and not suppress your feelings and take it all upon yourself. Communication works both ways. Only through proper communication will we be able to build up our team and learn to work better with one another. Like steph said, "We ought to iron things out by talking about the problems we face and finding solutions to them."
To have come so far, much perseverance was definitely needed. We have already gone through 3/4 of our PW journey and we've survived! So let us persevere for the remaining 1/4 and run the race before us well and i say we do this, not as individuals but as a class. Encourage one another and build each other up for "united we stand, divided we fall."This post may sound really cliche to some of you but it's really something we ought to ponder about and I hope it'll help our class in some way or another. press on 31/08! we can do it!
