In school, we been taught to take exam as individual. If we try to cooperate during examination, that will be cheating. That individualism system taught by current education system has greatly hindered most of our generation people to success in business and investment. People mind is mold to operate in individual in undertaking any task. They perceive cooperation as cheating. They worship individualism and competition. They afraid of sharing information, asking for help or undertaking any manners that might make them look like a "stupid person". The school system has deliver a deadly message to most of the students as if you showing that you don't know, then you are stupid. Taking exam by individual might work in school, but in the real world, real business people cooperate like hell in order to win. In business and investment, there are so many important elements involved such as cash flow, communications, legal, system and product/services. Non of us are expert in all those area. Therefore we need a team, a team that make of people come from various areas of expertise to fill in the slot of business and investments elements mentioned above. The idea is simple, yet, most of us just can't fit that simple idea into our daily life.
One of the best quote I love about professional football coaches is :"regardless you are Roberto Baggio or Eusebio, you can't beat the game against 11 players by your own, It is impossible!". The quote has simply reflected that it take a team to win regardless how capable you are.
