At the end of national service days, things remained rather unresolved. We are leaving. Unresolved are usually technical problems, and sadly, friendship and teamwork problems. Sometimes we know of a problem but just keep quiet and let it pass. Our communication level could have been improved. I constantly wish we can be more truthful, more open, more easy with sharing problems.
I don’t really know what impression I give to my platoon-mates. I tend to be the person that go around listening to things here and there. I’m very glad to have to opportunity to listen to most sides of the story but regrettably, I often keep it to myself and not share it around. Most of the people don’t want to let the opposing party know.
You know, I thought the best way to let each other work better is by laughing off someone’s mistake. Not behind the person’s back but when the person is present. We got closer together this way but it’s starting to show side effects.
