Soft skills are required in any type of work environment, especially teamwork. Teamwork is a major key to any type work environment, it allows co-workers to be able to share their thoughts and ideas and try to brainstorm their ideas and come up with one that each agree on. Teamwork is also one the best way to avoid misunderstandings and misconceptions. I also believe that the purpose of teamwork is to help solve daily issues in work environment without misunderstandings or unnecessary arguments. Teamwork also helps individuals ope up to diversity and being able to work with different type of people, from different types of background.

Why is teamwork relevant to me and others?
I believe that teamwork is a must in every and any type of work environment, by being open to other individual's thought or ideas and working on each idea, to come up with the best idea. I also believe that any successful work is done by a group of individuals who perfectly work well with each other.

Having soft skills especially in the workplace can help both employers and employees with the way they interact with each other’s. Soft Skills such as communication, team work, interpersonal skills and time management can help to increase wages in the work place. In my opinion when some individuals display good work ethics such as being a team player communicate well with others and managing their time on a daily basis, this will help make the  work place a happier place for both employers and employees. 

    One of the ways of focusing on soft skill is having self-control. For example, it is stated that individuals that possess more self-control are more likely to be successful in life, and on the contrary individuals who lack self-control are also more likely to not achieve their goals in life due to their impatience. Would we see this in the real world? Yes! For example some people are very impatient and when they have a fixed mindset when trying to reach a goal, they tend to lack self-control and easily to give up from their failures, instead of learning from them.

It is also necessary to ask question and seek help to pursue one’s dreams. The pursuit of networking helps people to form relationships, share and gather information and making connections among people who have the same kind of interest. There are many ways and places where people can be connected to networking. For example they can pursue networking through their jobs, family gatherings and also at their place of worship. 

     Communication is one of the ways to networking, a person have to be willing to communicate and share information with others. Sometimes people lose out on opportunities because they are afraid to approach another person to ask questions.  Can a person benefit from this?  In my opinion they surely can benefit from The Pursuit of Networking. For example a students entering college with doubts, trying to finger out what classes he/she need to take for the career they are pursuing. They can benefit by opening the line of communication by talking to an academic advisor. Also it helps to build strong connections with other students by sharing and giving information.
