Passing Pingpong With Chopsticks

Today, in the first HC class of this semester, we played an intriguing game -- passing pingpong with chopstics. We students were divided into two groups and passed the pingpong. Once the ball falled, we had to start from the begining. Not only the game has a lot of fun, but also the reflection of the game is expressing. Here I summarize some points which are important to me as I consider the game a kind of team cooperation.

I was in the 4th place to pass the pingpong, but I ruined it several times, and then Vicky just put me in the frist place so that I can handle the job well. Therefore I think in a team, there may be someone strong or weak, but they can still do something well for the team. A good leader should be able to find out what is their strength and encourage them to make efforts for the teams. When I lead a group before, for example, doing a project for my course, sometimes I prefered to do the whole things by myself rather than coorperating with other teammates if I thought they were relatively "weak" or not so "resposible" for our grades. After this game, I think I should make some change, may be I should learn how to encourge my teammates to exert theri advantages. I should not leave any of my fellows behind.

The second thing I am think that in a team like this, people shares. I mean during the game, once some of us found a good method to carry the ball, he or she taught others to avoid the falling of the ball. And not only we share experience of carring the ball but also the tool -- the chopsticks, we found those made from bamboo were good for passing ball so that we lent them to others. Again, I understand the significance of sharing and cooperation for a team. Selfish is cancer to a team.

Anyway, the first class of this semester is expressing and I hope I will learn more and think about more about leadership in the future. I love this game~
