Communication

1. If we do not have communication, we will not be able to interact with other people and humans will become isolated, and therefore will lead to the extinction of humans.
2. Personally, I like ‘writing’ forms of communication, such as SMS, letters, etc… Basically because I feel that writing is more direct and to the point. 
3. It depends on the urgency of the situation.
4. Some people say before they think. So I have to not take it seriously.

#2 Team Building Challenge - Debrief (II) Personal Reflection

Excellence is the quality of being good, so SST wants us to do our best at everything. I do not really have a specific talent that can help me to achieve excellence, but I think that by maintaining a good balance between everything that I do, I can still strive for excellence. I think I should cultivate more initiative and more pro activeness to better help me achieve success. I can contribute to my class by participating more in the activities and mixing with them to negotiate better and avoid misunderstandings. 

#4 Bridge Building Activity - Debrief (II) Personal Reflection

I feel that it was quite fun working with my team. There were no quarrels, and everyone was happy working with each other. I would spend more time working on the project instead of fooling around. Fortunately, my team worked quite well together so I did not have any fears or discomforts working with my team.
