Everyone knows that there is no "I" in team. Teamwork is always better than doing it yourself. There is nothing wrong with having a little help. Teamwork is based on how you work together. Never feel bad for working together. No need to do it alone when you've got your team.

Have you ever heard the phrase "there's no i in team"? I know I have and I believe that this phrase couldn't be more right. Just think about it, you can accomplish a lot more with a group of people or a team and you can learn many new things from unique people. I think teamwork is a great idea and it really gets the job done.

Whenever you are working together in a sport, you can't always rely on your teammates for a move. You must work together and not assume. When you spell out the word 'team' of course you don't spell it with an 'I.' In order to succeed, you must take part on your team and motivate others. If you motivate someone, it could be possible that that person would spread the inspiration down the line.

there shouldn't be any I at all because its all team work people work as a team to make shure that every thing is right. and it shouldn't be where one man does only one thing. every one needs to do it to make it an actual team work besides. its better to have a team than have only one. every one counts as a team

My thoughts of the meaning of there's no "I" in team idea is that everybody is working together and nobody is giving up. Like if you and your team are on a project and you guys have to build something extraordinary and you have 6 people you can send 3 to find parts. While the other 3 can plan it out and in the end you guys build something extraordinary thing. This is what I think the meaning of there's no "I" in team means.

Some people think that there is an "I" in team but there is not. A team is a group of people that work together. One person should not have to do all the work. Nor should they be the have to be the only one that makes themselves do all the work. That is why it is called a team.

Everyone knows that there is no "I" in team and there never has been. I think that phrase is very true, because some people think that everything and everyone should revolve around them but really it doesn't. There is always someone who is going to be better then you but you use that person to make you better.

Have you ever heard the quote " There is no I in Team"? I remember when everyone on the team had to work together. The quote " There is no I in Team" is a good quote because in a group activity takes everyone to complete the activity. In a group activity, it takes everyone to complete the task.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "There's no I in team'' ? I personally think this phrase is correct. So many people think they can do things on their own, but they can not. Also a team is a group of people who work TOGETHER. Plus a team never let's one person do all the work.

There is no I in team. This phrase has changed the world in everything people do. Sure you can do it by your self, but why when you have teamwork. Back in kindergarten they made us sing the clean-up song. When everybody was cleaning, I was jamming out to it while doing nothing. That's when I learned that everyone needs help sometime in their life. But, while their is no I in team, there is a me.

When I think of that quote i think of a guy who thinks he is the best and he can do everything by himself. Some people are successful like that but most are not. To be successful and get through difficult times you need to have a team. Family and friends are the best team you could ever have. When you have outside input you make better smarter decisions.

Everyone knows there is no "I" in team. Team work can be a help than doing something by yourself. Teamwork is not along you usually have a couple people with you. That's nothing close to having just one person when there is team. A team never let's you do it all by yourself. A team is made to work together so that's what they do.

The tern " there is no I in team " is completelty true. Team work is a very easy and good to do. When you work as a team you get things done faster. When you work as a team, it teaches you leadership and social skills. When people work together (espically with people they know) work better, and they enjoy working with others. So in conclusion, there is no I in team.

Have you ever heard of the quote "There is an 'I' in team"? In my opinion there isn't an I team. You couldn't go out on to a football field by yourself and defeat the number one football team that. There is no way that you can go on the field and beat that team with out your team. The "I" is apart of the team. You and the other team players have to work together to succeed.

The term there is no I in team is true because you can't do all the work by yourself because if you try you probably won't get very far at it.if you have to play on a sports team you especially have to work as a team because if you don't you will probably get yelled at by the coach and the team. That whole term is a bunch of balone because if you don't work together with your teammates then you are going to not be liked as a teammate.

The term "there is no I in team" does resemble teamwork. It resembles teamwork because it's true there is no I in team. Especially when it comes to teamwork; people know that to sometimes accomplish things you think of how to do it yourself. You don't think you need a team to do it. So instead of just teaching one person how to do something teach a whole group of people to do it together as a team.

People say there is no I in team because they don't want to do the work them selfs. The people that don't want to do the work say there is an I in independent. That is what a ton of lazy people might say. Playing baseball when people steal the bases and they throw the ball and they miss and get close to haome the pitcher doesn't move because they say the catche has oit and they miss and the other team gets another run.

The phrase "there is no I in team" means that you have to work together as a team and not just individually. Working as a team shows that you are willing to cooperate with others. If you work together, you can get the job done quicker. There will always be that one person on the team that doesn't live by that phrase. They always bring the team down. They either don't pitch in or try to do all the work themselves and do it wrong.

To me there is no "I " in team. There isn't an "I" in team because you can't do it by yourself. That's what "I" is doing things by yourself, but a team is together and working with others. It's hard to do things by yourself. When you have a team you don't have to because your only doing a part while others are helping.

There is no I in team, many people have said. What they mean is it is not just an individual member of a team. It is everyone on the team that matters. I believe that the e in team should mean everyone on the team. It is not about the sport, but the teamwork it teaches. Teamwork is hard to teach for those who cannot trust others because the others might as well be the silliest people in their classroom.

You always need someone to go through life with you. Weather that's for a short time or long time. Someone either needs to motivate you are be motivated by you. When someone motivates you they are believing you can accomplish your goals, and when some one is motivated by you, they are simply reminding you about what you have accomplished. That is what makes a team.

Many experiences in my life has swayed my point of view on the saying there is no "I" in "team." I personal believe that no one person can do a team sport or activity by themselves. Yes, they can try but many don't succeed. I have been on a team were there was a person called a "ball hog" meaning they wanted to do everything by themselves and no help from the team. This not only hurts the team but it hurts the person trying to do it all. When you play team sports or activities the purpose is to contribute to the success of the whole team.

The phrase "there is no 'I' in 'team' simply means, you need a team. Having a team is like having a second family. You can't do it by yourself. Teamwork is always better than working alone. With a team, you accomplish more and achieve more. Unless you have some kind of superpower, you can't do that alone.

Maybe you have heard the phrase , "There is no I in team. Well I certainly agree that when you're playing on a team you shouldn't think it's all about you! I mean isn't that what a team is, working TOGETHER with other people to accomplish something. By working together you are more likely to accomplish your goal. You really shouldn't dwell on yourself, and think it's all about you.

Have you ever heard of team work? When I used played basketball for the recreational department, I had a girl on my team who thought that she could do it all. She never passed the ball to anybody, always made the baskets, and took all of the credit from everyone else. Although she was the best player on the team, she never showed good sportsmanship. Cooperating and working with your team or group is a very important skill. It builds a good character and strong leadership and different role skills.

I like the idea That "there is no i in team", because a team is lots of people working together to do something if it's just one person working on the whole team it's not a team. Also on a team no one person on that team will brag, because if it wasn't for his/her teammates they probably wouldn't have been able to do what they did. Like the football team this year they all had to work together, but it still didn't work out there must have been a person on the team giving it there all because when a team tries hard enough together they can accomplish anything.

My view on "There is no I in team" is not just only one person is the head of the team. Meaning that there is not a person on the team who can do everything to win a game. Many people who are on teams know about teamwork. They know that to win a game or some type of event you have to have a great team. Everyone pitches in to win a game or whatever. If there was one person who does everything in any sport that person wouldn't be able to win by themselves. They need a team.
