The Power of Team Work

Let’s play a game.

Requirements: 2 player and 2 pieces of paper

Draw 2 horizontal lines and 2 vertical lines across each paper, intersecting each other.

Rules: 

a) 1 player to use circle and the other to use cross.

b) 1 point is obtain when you obtain 3 circles/cross in 1 line.

 Simple? How many points did you manage to get?

Well, most people will obtain just one or two points at most. Isn’t it? Some even zero.  I would say the maximum points that both player can get is 8 points each. How? 1 player will draw crosses on all 9 boxes and the other will draw circle on all 9 boxes. Each player can then obtain 3 points horizontally, 3 points vertically and 2 points diagonally.

The thing about human beings is that when they play this game, they go into the ‘Tic Tat Toe’ mode. They begin to outwit and prevent each other from winning, thus reducing the total number of points that each of them get. Imagine if both players begin to team up to obtain the maximum number of points that both players can get. It’ll be a win-win situation and both will get the maximum of 8 points each!

That’s the power of team work!
