Collaboration Benefits

There is a crucial trait that is necessary for everyone to know, a trait that can make sure tasks are accomplished efficiently, and effectively. That is having the ability to collaborate with the people around you. Collaborating is a tool that is accessible to everyone but is undermined as a beneficial ability. Collaboration is the ability to work together with people to accomplish a task. Collaboration can not only help you develop friendships, it can help you accomplish your goals with their assistance, and it can also help convey diverse opinions to reach the best solution.

Collaborating with people will be one of the greatest tools you can make to socialize with one another and develop friendships. It is nearly impossible to do anything

in life without having to collaborate with others. “Whatever my purpose is, it involves people. It involves the teacher who forgets my name. It involves the friend I haven’t spoken to in years. It even involves the random stranger I meet and hardly think of again.” (Camlyn, Swaubona). In life you are going to need to talk to people in life. At some point in your life you are going to need help from somebody and will have to collaborate. This collaboration can help you develop a deepening bond. Everyone can potentially be an ally and a friend and can be very beneficial if you have them collaborate with you. Friends can advise you, help you, discuss with you and most importantly, they can care for you.
The friends you develop can help you accomplish great feats and goals with their assistance.

By collaborating you can help accomplish goals and have mutual benefit and progress in your work. “He wanted to destroy all of the unexploded rockets in the surrounding fields. So the Captain went from house to house, asking if the family had unexploded bombs or rockets in their homes or fields and offered to destroy the ordnance to keep the children safe.” (Chaston, Becoming Friends). With the help of collaboration they were able to collect the entire ordinances and make sure it was destroyed saving countless lives. This collaboration was the key point into how they accomplished their mission. Collaboration has the power to unite many people for a common function where they can accomplish more tasks than they could by themselves. It is crucial that you collaborate with people so that these missions can be successfully accomplished. But as in any collaboration there is going to be different views on how the mission could be

achieved.
Within collaborations you are bound to have people from different backgrounds and different opinions, it may even be difficult for you agree with, but with some collaboration and compromise’s you will reach an agreement with the values of both in mind.

“I believe we are all doing the best we can. The other side isn’t any more ignorant or selfish than we are; they are not big business or big brother or the international monetary fund. They are just like me. I choose to respect their opinions, even as I disagree with them.” (Mize, Finding our Common Ground). As other people have different opinions it is acceptable to disagree with them, and have differing opinions. In fact, it could be considered even better if you have more disagreements so that a solution that implements the most from all sides may be able to be put into place. With diverse opinions, you can be able to achieve great solutions to some of the hardest problems we have today. Democracy is founded upon the idea that everyone’s opinion matters and so everybody’s voice should be

heard.
Collaborations are a exponential tool that we can use to solve some of today’s hardest problems. With collaborations we are able to create strong, caring, friendships that can last a lifetime. The collaboration can help you accomplish your goals and missions. Collaborating is one of the most undermined skills that can help you receive diverse opinions and help plan solutions that could be beneficial for everyone. Collaborating is an essential tool that we need to take advantage of so we can rise up do magnificent things with our friends and team members in our lives.
