Have you ever tried to do something on a whim and realized halfway through you don’t have everything you need to complete it? Do you ever start to make dinner without knowing that you have all of the ingredients? Do you start changing the oil in your car without knowing what oil filter you have, what type of oil the car takes, or how much of it you need?

The same goes for the working world. Whenever you begin a task, work on a project, or hold a meeting. You need to always effectively and efficiently utilize your resources with anything you do. Although keep in mind that your resources will be vastly different from other people’s resources, which brings to mind another benefit to working in teams and groups. Resources can range from financial advantages to networks of people, and personal education to real world experience.
Whenever you are in the working environment, you are never left without resources. This is why I don’t fully understand the reasoning behind memorization tests in school. You won’t find a boss who wants you to work on a project and says “Oh, and do it without the internet, other people, or books.” You are given every opportunity to utilize what you have to complete your work with the best possible outcome.
Your resources are the focal point of what you do. They can give you information when you don’t know something, lend a hand when you need extra help, and even give you advice when you are lost. But resources are not always available and are constantly changing, so you also have to maintain them. You need to keep in touch with people and build and maintain relationships so that they are not lost. Financial resources can vary and change over time, so you need to keep a close watch to know where they lie. All resources are valuable and personal to us all, so MAKE THEM, MAINTAIN THEM, and UTILIZE THEM!!
I am terrible at memorization tests! Give me the application and tell me why, and I can perform. Miriam

As are most people, Miriam. Thanks for your comment. It is true, we do not always remember things that we have learned in the past, as we shouldn’t have to. As long as we know where to reference it and find it in our resources when we need it.
