Cooperation

Cooperation is essential to success. It requires self discipline and self control. In order to cooperate you must listen and comprehend information effectively. Failing to do so causes confusion and unnecessary harm to one’s self and others. For example, in order to get a project or assignment done completely you have to work in groups. Working as a team requires cooperation with other teammates. Failing to collaborate with other members affects both your grade and the grades of other students in the group. Another example could be if I am driving in a car with a few of my friends in the passenger and back seats and I get pulled over by the police for whatever reason and I fail to cooperate with the police, I place both myself and friends in danger, risking the possibility of getting arrested or getting a criminal record over something that could be so easily solved. Cooperation simply means that you can pay attention, analyze, and clearly act on certain situations and circumstances.  Cooperation is important to me because with it we understand self discipline and how to carry ourselves effectively for positive results. Cooperation means that you think before you speak and act. The way we handle a situation and cooperate greatly affects the outcome of the different circumstances we face. We have to guard our tongues as to what we say and guard our actions to make sure we cooperate so that things are done in a safe, effective, and orderly fashion.
