  1. Like Michael, I also think that being collaborative, creative, hard-working, helpful and loyal are all important qualities.

    I like to work with all kinds of people. I enjoy working by myself as well as in a team, and I enjoy doing a combination of team-work and individual work. It's good to bounce ideas off each other!

    I like to wark with a partner, because in a team, it's difficult to speak to many people. I like to be on a time or be early, because I don't like people to wait for me. It's okay if I must wait. So I like to work punctual people. I like to work with relaxed people, because I don't like people who always are hard-working.

  7. Hello everyone,
    thank you for your comments. Actually, I'm a lot like Phil. I like a balance. I like to work in a team, and I like to work alone sometimes too. Thank you Phil for your comment!
    Also, like Kouta, I don't like ambitious people. I think ambitious people are too selfish sometimes. In addition, I agree with Takaaki that working long hours is bad for our health. I think it's important to work hard, but I think it's important to play hard too. I think it's best to have good time management skills. I'm very happy that Chieko and Haruna like to work with creative people. I think we will be very creative this semester in this class.
    Thanks again for all your comments!

  8. I like to work with the same kinds of people Mr. Stout enjoys working with, but I also seek out people with unusual, interesting, and creative ideas. I love the kind of people who others consider to be radical -- the ones with "impossible" ideas which are actually very possible. Those impossible ideas become possible through collaboration and creativity. That comes from working together with one's mind open to anything!

    Enjoy your class!

    Best

  9. Hi Chuck,
    Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it. I too like people with unusual, interesting, and creative ideas. I like radical people!

    Kazuki,
    How could I forget you?! Please forgive me. I understand what you mean. It is sometimes difficult to talk to everybody in a large group. Sometimes working with just one partner is best. I especially like working with Mr. Heilman ,and Jerry. They are great partners for me.
