knowing the unknown
DESCRIPTION
Knowing the Unknown Well for starters, there are some things that all of our team members have in common. We all are Homosapiens, know how to read and write English, live in United States of America. We all have an email account and are also interested in learning new things; else we wouldn’t have joined this course. That being said, when I sent a message to all my teammates the very first time, I did not get any response. I thought may be no one but me had logged into the course to see if the teams have been assigned and the assignment has been given. So, later, I sent an email to all four of my team members, and hurray I did get a response form one of my teammate. Hey one is a lot better than zero. And through his email, I found him very similar to me. Most of the people, I thought, had joined here for learning how to be creative themselves. My main purpose for joining this course was to teach my daughter how to be creative. And for Lee Chambers also it was the same, though he did not join for the children, but he did join for his students. I was touched, that gave me another similarity, he took care for his students as if they were his children. And, I remember there was a time when I was in graduate school and was teaching undergraduate students and although the age difference was not much, still sometimes use to call my students as my children in front of my friends. Both of us believe in continued education. Both of us have busy schedule, but still found time to do this assignment through email, so “where there is a will there is a way.” Another thing which I found common with Lee Chambers is the somewhere deep down we are insecure, and want to do best for our team. Although, no one who knows us, will believe that. We always present ourselves as confident persons who can find solutions to everyone’s problem. We like to “think outside the box.” We don’t want to follow the crowd, and if, we know we are right in something, we’ll make sure everyone agrees to it. Similarly, if we find we are wrong in something, we’ll just admit it and try to rectify the situation.TRANSCRIPT
