In a culture that glorifies the solo worker, the do-it-alone attitude, it is very easy to forget the importance of teamwork. More importantly, this habit when taken to its extreme would cause isolationism and an aversion to working with others. Yet, it cannot be overemphasized that most of our problems today could have been avoided if we could only practise acceptance, tolerance, patience or in other words accepting and working with others. Our famous president LBJ beautifully summarizes this solution in his quote…

“There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves”
- Lyndon Johnson

We would do much better if we take the time to notice that over the entire course of our history, most any achievement of significance was achieved only as a result of leadership and excellent teamwork, not by working alone in isolation. The teamwork might have been direct or indirect, but the fact is that we cannot survive or succeed by ourselves. Despite this fact, we pretend as if we can manage it all on our own; even worse our culture teaches us also to glorify those that pretend this way.

Today is the day to start the change, to begin a new era of acceptance, tolerance and love. Try it in your daily life today, give a big smile to someone you are having a hard time working with, pass a sincere compliment to someone and see its magic in action.
