You must have heard the word “cooperation. What is cooperation? It is nothing but considering and accommodating the ideas of others, rather than only ours and respecting the same too. Cooperation is working with others and working as a team.
Here is a story on the importance of cooperation
One day an average businessman named Harish was heading towards his office. Hardly after one hour after he reached, his manager called him. He said, “Harish, there is a significant group project that I am making you in charge of. I hope there will be no problems. But if there is, please contact me.” Harish was a kind man and loved working in teams. But the thought of being the senior-most made him bossy and mean. His voice tone became demanding, and slowly his team members stopped liking him. He chose his best team member and made him do all the work. Not one was allowed to help him. There was no teamwork.
Harish proudly started presenting the work and told them it had been done by the best team member only. This statement astonished the manager. He talked to Harish in person. “Harish! I said it was a group project! This is what you call a group project?” But Harish had another perspective… “But sir… you wanted it to be the best, and that is the reason I did this.” “No, Harish! It was still a group project. Redo the project… and this time as a team!” This scolding taught Harish a lesson; he understood the work and effort of a single person could be further improved if they were performed in a group. This time, he encouraged every member for teamwork, respected their inputs, and reworked the entire project. Everybody gave their best and the presentation turned out impressive. All team members were remarked splendidly.
We all should learn this virtue of cooperation. It is essential to be a successful person.

Cooperation is the time when you adjust with someone whether you like it or not. It is when you help someone not caring about yourself and putting their needs before yours.Like, if you have a friend who needs immediate help and you have to go to a party so you could adjust and go to the party a little late and help your friend instead.Now I’d like to present a story on cooperation-
Once there was a class who was assigned a project. As they started to begin -“ Listen my plan is to first design the template that’s all that matters”“ No we will research first and that is what I’ll do only me”“I will do the research too”“No we will draw first”The entire class started to fight for what they shall do. Each of them wanted things to go their way. Then one girl stepped up and said “Wait. If we fight like this we will never be able to make a good project. Let’s listen to everybody’s ideas and put them together.” A boy said “I’m with you” Then another girl said “ What ! My idea is the best, no need for other’s ideas”Just then the teacher came in and said “ Class, remember to work in a team and I’ll ask you questions in the end about how you made the project and how you felt about it, so cooperate with each other.” Saying that the teacher left the class.“ Now we will have to work together and cooperate.” said another boy.And that’s what they did. They collaborated and focused on all ideas and worked together. They cooperated by not getting angry even if someone gave the silliest idea.Once their project was finished their teacher appreciated them for such a good project. When questions were asked there were no complaints or unhappy answers as the entire class got the chance to put their points in the presentation.Name - Rishona ChopraGrade - 5Gyanshree School
