How my team is working/not working

This has been a week of trials. With our communication team report due on Sunday, things don't seem to be working as well as they could be. We started out as a really good, strong team, with various characters that each brought something valuable to the group. Due to unfortunate and unforseen circumstances, two of our team of five, have had to pull out of the course. It's difficult working as a team at the best of times, however, when the team falls apart, right at the crucial moment, that can be catastrophic.

So, what happens next? Well, the three of us will pull together and work as best we can to complete the task at hand. Hopefully, no-one else quits. I guess it's about having a positive attitude, despite trials. I've been called an optimist. Generally, I always veiw the glass as half full, for those of you that know what that means. For the others, basically there's two kinds of people in life. There's the kind that will look at a half filled glass of water and see it as being half empty and the kind that sees it as half full. It's what's called a proverbial phrase, and is used to gauge how people veiw an event, situation or an object.Optimists, like myself, will veiw the glass as half full, meaning that there's still the opportunity to enjoy or alter what's left. Pessimists on the other hand, veiw the glass as half empty.

So, how has my optimism helped me with the current situation? I've gained a greater sense of determination to suceed. Where before, I was steadily cruising through without too much effort, I've now realised that I need to put a lot more effort in. I also realised that we still have a great team, consisting of three educated and hardworking scholars. We all work, study and run households, which is a testimony to our true capabilities. With this in mind, I know we will suceed, come what may.
