Interpersonal Dynamics

The last day I stayed in D&V, my manager signed me up for an internal training, since I told him I like learning communication stuff. I didn't expect much, but what I gained in that half day is really inspiring. The Theory of 4 kinds of brains, etc. Apart from that, that was what I learnt.





Everyone was sitting on the chair. The lecturer said:
"hold your hand up in the air, as highest as you can."

Everyone was trying hard to stretch to the highest.

"Higher, higher, higher!!!" He pushed.

Everyone kept on trying, thinking that they're doing their best.

Suddenly one stood up on her feet holding her hand up.


Most of the time, this is the status of a whole society. Everyone is trying their best at the same level with stereotype, the one who thinks in another way stands out, although sometimes it is pretty simple to watch and understand when he/she finished it.


The Lecturer: Now close your eyes.
(Everyone follows)
The Lecturer: don't think of me; please don't think of me, think of anything but me!!

Try it yourself and you will know what u r thinking at that moment.

The more we try to hide from something, the more it annoys you, since you keep on thinking how to get away from it, the image repeats in your brain. All you can do is to face it. Although it may be painful at the beginning, time will cure.
