What is the most memorable lesson that you learned from working?

I still remember my first day of work. My leader in my department was a kind and professional chief editor. At that time, I didn’t know what the teamwork was and most of time we could deal with our work separately. So I was a little bit of edged and self-righteous when I just graduated from school. I was into judging something that I didn’t like. But my colleagues and leaders were still kind to me, they gave me a lot of room to do what I wanted. However, a few years later, I realized they were so kind to me that I just took it for granted. After I cooperated with many people and deal with different projects, I found that it was harder for everyone to treat me like this. Sometimes I had to balance all the people’s needs and sometimes I have no choice to annoy someone, too. So I would say teamwork is a tough task at work, and it still keep teaching me how to deal with people’s relationships.

Revised:

I still remember my first day of work. My department leader was a kind and professional chief editor. At that time, I didn’t know what the teamwork was and for most of the time, we could just work independently/by ourselves. So I was a little bit on edge and self-righteous when I just graduated from school. I was very judgemental of things that I didn’t like. But my colleagues and leaders were still kind to me, they gave me a lot of room to do what I wanted/they were very flexible with what I wanted to try. However, a few years later, I realized they were so kind to me that I just took it for granted. After I cooperated with many people and dealt with different projects, I found that it was harder for everyone to treat me like this. Sometimes I had to balance everyone’s needs and sometimes I had no choice but to be outright with others when they did not meet the requirements/targets. So I would say working with others is tough, and it still keeps teaching me how to deal with people relationships.
