Chapter 7 Now You See It

Summary:
This chapter is all about people changing themselves in order to be able to improve working skills. One of things we need to do is see ourselves as others see us. An example of this is when Tony/Lawanda O'Driscoll talks about how we usually don't see ourselves as others see us. If we change this and attempt to see what others see, then we could improve ourselves. Another things we should do is see talents where others see limits. This is basically saying to try to be more positive and see the bright side of something versus the negative.  Also, we need to see work as a part of life. Something else we can do to improve ourselves, is to see how and when we can work best together. Other things we need to do are, see the possibilities of mass collaboration, and see the future of work by refusing its past.

Critical Commentary:
When Cathy gives the 6 tips in this chapter about how to improve ourselves when it comes to working, this gives her good ethos, because it kind of shows that she cares and that she is willing to share advice on how to improve ourselves. I like how she has this chapter set up. She gives a tip then some information and examples about it. She uses many good examples to prove her argument. All of them support her argument very well. It was a little confusing when Cathy was talking about Tony/Lawanda O'Discroll. She kept switching from she to he. I'm not quite sure what the point of that was. But even though that part was confusing, I still got the message of that example: We never know where our life is going to go. Things are constantly changing. We could be working in business one day and the next be in the armed forces, for example. I think that all of the tips Cathy gives are very good and will help improve workers.
