When I first listened to this song, I fell in love with it immediately. But I didn’t pay attention to the singer(s). Then few years ago, I heard the Mandarin version of this song, I loved it instantly again. Since then I’ve been listening to the Mandarin version since I’m pretty much a loyal Chinese music fan.

Today while combating and attempting very hard to concentrate in finishing up the draft of my manuscript, I heard this song played from the online radio again; this time, it’s the English version.

I’m sure you know that this song (Brown eyes) was sung by Destiny Child. Apparently the Mandarin version of this song was sung by a group of young girls from Taiwan called SHE. That just got me thinking that actually there are many groups who became famous yet after a while, the group members just parted and pursued different paths. If the members stayed together and worked as a team, wouldn’t they have better achievement, or to the least, be as good as they were?

Some people find it restricted to stay in a team and prefer to work solo. Some love teamwork. Nevertheless teamwork is never easy; each individual will have different preference and style. But if you’re in a team, individualism may not be preferable within each team members. Not only that, co-operation is a must for teamwork. This may need some effort from everyone since many of us are a bit too self-centered and thus have forgotten about the presence of the other members. The tricky bit is understanding and endurance. Each team member has to understand and accept the flaws of the other members and help them to improve whilst at the same time know how to appreciate the good sides of them too.

There are so many things around us in our daily life that require teamwork. Even if we happen not to work in a team, we still somehow belong to a big team in this society or to the minimum, a member of a small team of a family, household or even a couple. We have to learn some of the basic manners as a team member.

By the way, do you know that there was also a Korean pop duo called, Brown Eyes too? Their songs (R&B) are really cool. Yet this group was another team who did not stay on but went on solo.

All right, back to my Brown Eyes. This time I’m engrossed in the sweet lyrics. :)
