TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES

in #stach7 years ago

It is an obvious fact that man is a social animal who likes to live and work with human beings of his type. Through interaction with others, man has been able to accomplish many things.

The importance of cooperation in any human venture cannot be over-emphasized. Even we notice this cooperative instinct among insects such as termites. Termites work tirelessly in groups to build a mound where they operate. Through cooperation they succeed in doing a lot of damage as they eat the wood of trees or buildings.

What Does Cooperation Really Mean

It means carrying out any piece of work or duty assigned to you willingly, promptly and efficiently without being forced. When you obey the rules and regulations of a group or society, when you pay your taxes voluntarily, etc. You are said to be cooperating.

Cooperation starts from the home, within the family unit. Each member of the family has to cooperate so as to achieve the goal of the family. If there is lack of cooperation in the family, the father and the mother will be going in opposite direction while the children will go in another direction. This will have adverse effects on each member of the family.

Let us again look at a football team, whether male or female. Many matches that could have been won have been lost because of lack of cooperation among members.

The individual player wants to play to the admiration of the spectators. He wants to shine to take the glory of scoring the goal single-handedly. But a tree does not make a forest. The team therefore ends up being defeated. When, however, each member of the team realises that if the match is won all members will be praised, he is fully determined and commited to the team. He cooperates with other members and eventually the match is won.

In the larger society, there is need for cooperation to ensure the smooth running of the society. Cooperation comes in form of paying taxes without been coerced, obeying the laws of the society voluntarily and seeking the good and the advancement of the society.

What about the school setting? For the school to achieve it's purpose of existence, there must be existence cooperation. A student who does not cooperate with the school authorities will have himself or herself to blame.

Same thing applies to all of us here on steemit, without cooperation we won't be able to achieve our steemit dreams. Putting our heads together and trying to help new members who just joined the community will go a long way in helping the community grow.

Thus it can be observed that cooperation is indispensable in all groups, organizations, associations, or societies.

THANKS GREAT STEEMIANS FOR READING, HAVE A NICE DAY.
