I am by nature a quiet person. I do not raise my hand in class. I do not have a large amount of friends. Large groups just aren't my thing. Small groups, on the other hand, are easy for me. When given the chance to talk in an environment where I can be sure everyone is really listening, I often have important information to add, helpful thoughts and new ideas to move the group along. Just as the wife of the King of Here. Once he finally listened to her advice, his giant problem was easily solved and people were again able to travel from Here to There with little effort. The smaller the group, the easier I am heard and the better I function.
It is most difficult to work together in a group when struggling with conflicting ideas. The group maybe splits, no work gets done, fights even sometimes occur. I dislike agreements and prefer to have groups running as smoothly as possible. The greater the harmony a group possesses, the more likely they are to focus on the task ahead and get things done. I try my best to act as a harmonizer and conciliator in groups so as not to waste time when we are working. The problem with avoiding conflict, however, comes when I feel I can't do anything to fix something I see as a problem. I am rather stubborn and may come off as a bit of a deserter if I am unhappy with the direction the group is going. In this sense, I need to work harder to get along with others and be open to more ideas. I need to be like Dighavu and instead of being proud and stubborn to other group members, ending conflict with reason and calmness. Groups can only work well when everyone gets along. I hope to aid our group in doing just that.
