Issue:Five years ago,when I was examined to be HIV positive,I didn’t know what to do.I felt I was alone in this world.I did not disclose my status to my family.I kept everything to myself until I was introduced to a group.The group was very welcoming.I found people in a situation like me,and I am not alone.I committed my services and support to that group.
Eventually,I felt something is missing.There was a feeling of emptiness.My family does not know where I work and where I stay.They cannot visit me,but on the contrary I have to visit them regularly in the province.A five long hours of journey from Manila going South.Tiring!
Many of my fellows are gone.Most are not accepted by their families.Some did not even disclose their HIV status.Many are ill in bed without a family member on their side to care for them.A painful death,the way I see it.Other’s experiences urged me to think about disclosing my status to my family.I started in subtle(微妙的)ways like bringing home a panel of AIDS Memorial Quilt where I can do patchwork(缝制)for a lost friend.The AIDS Memorial Quilt started the conversation until eventually l was able to disclose my HIV status to my family. Nothing has changed with our relationship within the family, They have accepted me and treated the same way as if I do not have HIV.I am more comfortable and happy now.

Team Building Means More than Throwing a Few People Together
“Teamworking” is found everywhere within just about every organization .you can’t get away from “teams” that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Or so the theory goes.
There are five measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team:
1_________
There must be a clear reason for the team to exist. And all the members should realized the value and significance of what they are going to do. What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive. What is more ,they should also be well prepared for the possible difficulties they may come across in the process.
2._________
Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized and they must have the feeling that their suggestions will be taken seriously . This is an important point because the team may need to resolve some complex or thorny issues. For example ,it may discuss a sensitive topic .Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees. This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on frank discussion is required.
3._____________ D. Respect to All Team Members
It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones. This is not only demoralizing or discouraging, it also makes no sense ---people that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place. Since they have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.
4.____________
Disagreements are natural and, in fact debate and discussion should be encouraged. A team made up only of "yes men" can make disastrous decisions that few people honestly agreed with in the first place. Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled. For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a discussion that involves only two people, so "under-the-table" method may be effective.
5.___________ A. Leadership
Most high-performing teams are well organized. A good organizer should be able to play to individuals' strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. It should be someone who can act as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve. He must ,above all, be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to others coaching them to achieve tasks, and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went.
Team building isn't as simple as just throwing a few people together. It requires, much more, but motivating people is most essential. Successful team working is not marked by how much progress the team makes toward its goals, but by how confidently each of its members completes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride.
