The one that I particularly see as important was when I had to work with a person who wasn't willing to contribute to group work. When I was pursuing my college in India, one of my team members refused to work on a group project because he wanted to attend some sports classes, so he said that he could not help us anymore. I was very disappointed because it would put a burden on the other team members, and I didn't want that. So I decided to talk to my team member who was refusing to work with us, and I told him about his contribution and how it would affect our group project. I also assured him that if he took part in it, he would get a good grade. Luckily, he understood our situation as well as his importance in our project. He decided to help us and complete his part of the work. I would say that the road from disagreement to agreement wasn't easy for me, as I had to come out of my comfort zone and talk to a person who was in denial. I had to compromise my self-respect while talking to him. So it wasn't easy for me, and I learned that nothing is easy in this life. This was a good lesson for me: communicating with others is important.
