Cleaning the Spiderwebs!!

Wow, more than one month without publishing anything, I'm really shamed of have my blog so disused!! Well but even when I was not keeping records of my learning I have lots of things to talk about so is time to clean the spiderwebs and start being a rational and seriuos person again.

My topic for today: Learning!! When I was dealing with the material of the last lecture I was feeling like that was not new at all. Is well known that humans learn from the mistakes, so why not learning from the experience, wether our experience or our partners experience.

I have my own stories about collaborative work, both positive and negative experiences, but when I was thinking about how the collaborative work was affecting my live, I realize that, as in the interfirm collaboration, I learn lots of things from my own experiences. Collaborating with someone either firm or a person changes your way of behave, that is, after a couple of bad experiences in collaborative work, I became more carefully when choosing my partners and when dealing with them. On the other han, I feel like working in a team teach you how to develop responsability skills and how the things that you do can affect other in different manners.

I think I can keep writing thousands of ideas that I learn when I was working collaboratively, but just for sumarize I came to the conclusion that the collaborative work has helped me to grow up as a person and as an engineer, so if is such a positive thing for individuals I can not imagine how it can be for firms.
