Writing your Auto-Biography.....

It's a pretty creative and mixed feeling in writing your own biography.And i would say it's a must experience task. The toughest part is where to begin. But this would expose to various forgotten incidents and importance of our nearby relations.
As per me, writing autobiography is more important than the content of our biography. The sort of feelings that crossed our mind while remembering every other incident happened in the past and your analysis to all such events is definitely an experience of lifetime. These analysis of our earlier life's events with more matured thinking and ideas of ours not only guide us in reacting to uncomfortable situations but also in bringing our past into our conscious brain.
Various relations which are soured in present gets sweetened with this task. It reminded us of thier importance based on their previous interactions with us. Some of those interactions make us sentimental, others make us more light but overall those interactions give us a true nature of a person to us. In our day to day life, this thing is often neglected by us and we usually believe on someone on the basis of last few transaction.
Regarding the guidance to our life goal, it's the best way. It not only help us (at least me) in deciding what to do from our life maximizing the benefits of all the stakeholders in our life.

#Team work# Justified at school/college....

Team work or Group work has always been the most important aspect of any corporate task or in normal scenario. It's because of the importance of this, team work has been an integral part of school or college education.
At college level, I still can't figure out the true learning from this. As the rules are not same at college level and at corporate level. The freeriding phenomenon is more prominent at college level. Without the presence of power in the hand of team leader and equal benefits to all the members of the group while at the corporate level, team leader has higher rewards as well as more power to stop free-riding of the involved members.
Although the benefits to members are there in both the case but presence of competition as well as differentiation in benefits to stakeholders in the group are not there at school or college level.
However, there is learning even after the absence of such policies at school/college level group tasks. The learning is there in form of motivating others for work, dealing with free-riding problem as well as better learning through team work. But when the things can be made much better and learning curve can be more steep after introducing such differentiation and competitive basis approach with presence of team leaders, why not follow the same.....
