Self reflection of a semester of my university life. In the previous semester, I have learned some very vital interpersonal skills. During the preparation of group works, I started to realise that using the skill of being able to interact and cooperate efficiently with people who are smarter me is much more effective and meaningful than forcing myself to complete tasks alone. Previously, the mindset of being knowledgeably superior to others so as to outperform others had deeply rooted in my characters. However, after having read the book ‘how to win friends and influence people’ written by Dale Carnegie, I recognised such attitude is futile and immature. I stopped compelling others to accept my opinion even though I deem them absolutely correct. Instead, I started to look from my colleagues’ points of view, and this makes me understand the weakness of my capability and the merits of others’ opinion. Therefore, I learned to appreciate the talents of others and becoming more emphasizing on the importance of teamwork. After practicing the interpersonal skill, I noticed that confrontation between our group members and I got reduced, while the harmonious atmosphere always exists in our group. This makes our group works to progress smoothly and being completed on time as we made the decision and performed our tasks efficiently based on the moto of respecting each other’s opinion.

In the previous semester, I have learned some very vital interpersonal skills. During the preparation of group projects, I started to realize that using the skill of being able to interacting and cooperating efficiently with people who are smarter than me is much more effective and meaningful than forcing myself to complete tasks alone. Previously, the mindset of being so intellectually superior to others so as to that I outperformed them others had been so deeply rooted in my character. However, after having read the book ‘how to win friends and influence people’ written by Dale Carnegie, I recognized that such an attitude is futile and immature. I stopped compelling others to accept my opinions even though I deem them as absolutely correct. Instead, I started to look listen to from my colleagues’ points of view, and this that makes me understand the weakness of my own capability and the merits of others’ opinion. Therefore, I learned to appreciate the talents of others and becoming put more emphasis on the importance of teamwork. After practicing the interpersonal skills, I noticed that confrontation between our group members and I got was reduced, while the harmonious atmosphere always remained exists in our group.
