Last week we were asked to list our five best and worst traits that we offer when working in team environments.

Positive:
Analytical
Honest
Motivated
Open minded
Reliable

Unfavorable:
Aloof
Competitive
Disorganized
Indecisive
Passive

I believe these are the best and worst qualities. Coincidently, these same qualities make me an either better or worse partner. I enjoy working with a familiar team and, yet random teams for new experiences. When working in groups I sometimes find being passive helps me; it allows me to see how other people think and process, while being indecisive pushes me to think in different ways rather than settling for first thought. Although quiet, I am constantly thinking and analyzing, even when I may look half-baked (aka. missing Lamb Chop).

Influence

I’ve been dwelling on this question for a while.

Everyday I am surrounded by many great thinkers and designers. The teachers at Humber have challenged and taught me to think, learn and view design in different ways. I take in their words as words of wisdom, although sometimes I feel some of those words get lost in translation. My fellow classmates also influence me through their creative thoughts, suggestions, and ambition to explore new boundaries. Although we may not all want the same things or look at the world the same way, we are all striving for the life we would like to lead after the completion of our studies. As for the main influence that has lead me back to where I am now, I remain uncomfortable with talking or broadcasting it over the Internet. I am generally a private person and very rarely talk about my past. I can only really think of one main influence and their status will be left unknown, all people need to know, is that it was this person who pushed me to think for myself, taught me that everything is not always as it seems, and to take risks when believed to be necessary. They were the first person to open me to the world of life, art, and design; showing me that, through patience, hard work, passion, and determination anything is possible.
