Teamwork

Teamwork appears in the form you less expect it. The picture above shows a few ants piling one over another to reach a surface, representing teamwork. Teamwork happens in everyday life. One weekend, my mother sent me to install the cable box in my grandma's television. My grandma was talking to me while I was trying to plug the cable wire in the box. I was stock for a moment because the cable wire did not want to come in. That wire was the last step to install the box before recording the channels. My mother came and saw me struggling. Then, she called my father, who appeared a moment later. He plugged the cable as if the wire was bathed with "Manteca".

Afterward, we had to record the channels. No channel was available yet because we have not notified this box to the cable company, so we called mom to do the call on the phone for us. I had to ready to unplug and plug wires as the voice on the phone instructed, while dad was changing the channels to check if these became available. My grandma was watching at us with a laughing smile. The channels began to appear, signaling our victory over the task.

Just like these kind of moments happen in all times, whether you help a cooker with the chop of meat, or when you suggest a few fixes in a composition paragraph. In fact, it is hard to point out that we do things all alone. Also, teamwork can be seen in the economy, each individual is specialized in something. A person may be good at electronics but bad at selling, while another person is good at selling the electronic device but bad at constructing the electronics.
