Soft Skills : Teamwork


        Teamwork without a doubt is an extremely essential part of our life especially in work. Teamwork allows people to work together to accomplish something that would've taken a person a lot of time. Teamwork builds synergy between the people in the team so therefore everyone is a lot more efficient and knows what they are doing. There also is the part about giving credit when it is due, this means that everyone is the team who worked on something should get credit and not just one person gets all the praise and respect all alone.

Soft Skills : Enthusiasm & Attitude

         
            Enthusiasm & Attitude are essential in life especially when you're working in a job, for example If you're working in a job and behave like a Debbie Downer or a Pessimist your boss will get the impression that you don't like working there and are bad influence for the rest of the co-workers and probably fire you and then you probably will become jobless and probably homeless as well, so good Attitude & Enthusiasm is extremely important if you want to stay solvent.


Soft Skills : Communication


             Communication is an essential part of life, without communicating properly people cannot understand us,and if they don't understand us , then we shall face MAJOR problems and a communication gap will exist, where you say one thing and the other person gets the wrong idea/impression. Communication is used in every sector, whether its the financial sector, school, or even the grocery store. So therefore Communication is vital necessity for economic production and education.

Project 7 Respect for All GIF Reflection


Project 7 was about creating a GIF about having respect for everyone regardless of their gender or physical status.

  Project 7 for me was particularly felt very hard as we could not use anything from the Internet and the GIF had to be 10 seconds long. So after brainstorming for a couple minutes I got a idea which I felt was unique and that nobody else was going to do.
So with that I decided to do a GIF that showed us about respect and how without respect we are barely humans and  that bullying hurts everyone. This project really let out my creativity and I can say firmly I am very satisfied with the outcome.
