Teamwork

Part of being in a team requires all of us to have a key word: TEAMWORK. From dictionary.com, it is the "cooperative or coordinated effort on the part of a group of persons acting together as a team or in the interests of a common cause".

There are many key aspects in team work as well. One of which is COMMUNICATION. If all of us do not talk out our feeling on certain aspects, misunderstandings almost always occur. And it will be like termites, slowly eating away the good wood which is teamwork, one which is the core framework of being in a team.

I am pleased that our team gels well together (amidst the lame jokes, Och-lets and working hard for one another). Let's continue to keep this spirit going in Wildcards. Outside cheer, please do also think of your family who had supported you throughout up till today. The song and lyrics below will sum up the importance of COMMUNICATION.

The Living Years

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that Im a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that Im a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
Im afraid thats all weve got

You say you just dont see it
He says its perfect sense
You just cant get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
Its the bitterness that lasts

So dont yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you dont give up, and dont give in
You may just be o.k.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye

I wasnt there that morning
When my father passed away
I didnt get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
Im sure I heard his echo
In my babys new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye
