| Ielts Essay - Team Solo or instincts |
Learning about life skills is not a matter of chance, as per
many. For them these traits are fostered by performing and participating in
team and sole activities, as these target different aspects of personality of
an individual, but there are still many who feel that learning about survival
skills is more dependent on natural instincts.
Participation in team activities, like team sports, group
projects, etc. fosters various important traits that would be used in life,
such as working together in a team; sharing responsibilities; pursuing goals as
a cohesive unit; learning to be patient; accepting opinions and viewpoints of
others and making necessary changes to accommodate views of others; accepting
success and failures decently; and not finding faults in others for defeats. These
activities also prepare people for developing a wider perspective of the outer
world that is a combination of complex matches and differences.
Besides this the sole activities have their own role in
developing personalities of an individual. There is a big bad world out there
and the ones who wish to overcome the hurdles and challenges posed by the
surroundings, must foster confidence, quick reflexes and wits that do not only
help in judging the situations but also help in finding solutions to remove
impediments.
However, certain human behavior theorists insist that life
skills cannot be taught or perfected by part taking in any man made activities,
but instead are either inherited or are innate. The problem handling traits;
ability to accommodate team work and vision; and pursuing goals in tandem with
others or alone are inborn instincts, and the people gifted with these natural
qualities outperform their counterparts.
To conclude, I personally feel that life skills can be
learnt by participating in activities performed in team and alone.
