 * __Listening to Others With Understanding and Empathy__**

In retrospect, I haven't done much to listen to others. I do listen to their suggestions and hear what they're saying, but I feel like sometimes I'm unwilling to do things using any other methods other than my own. Which can be detrimental because in some labs, it may have been prudent to listen to other people's suggestions. It may have lead to more accurate or precise results, or just make the lab more streamlined and less time consuming while still obtaining quality results.

Being a good team member means you have to be a good listener as well. Although I would like to think of myself as a good team member, obviously this is one very important aspect I need to improve in. Listening to other's gives everyone an equal chance to discuss what they feel is important, and often times what they have to say brings up important points. Not listening would make the group completely skip over these points and possibly degrade the quality of an experiment.
