During one of my sessions with
kids last week, I was casually sharing that there are only few weeks left for
our classes to end and how I am going to miss them all...This had some
spontaneous reactions – some saying ohhhh only 3 weeks...I will miss too you
too Ma’am..Will miss you Nimmi...what happens if there are no classes... some
not reacting...and a couple of them saying Yessss!!! It’s getting over (These
were the ones whom I knew would react this way :) ;)))....
I enjoyed this little conversation, sharing
our thoughts, feelings and emotions that came along...
I was thinking on these lines and
how this whole conversation would have affected me if it was the other way ...If
the kids said they wouldn’t miss me or the sessions or had
no reactions....
Maybe - My initial reactions would have been
feeling terrible I guess ... :) ;) and then I
would have reflected back on my sessions and seen what I have done that children
didn’t miss/like my sessions & weighed down cause effect improvisations
etc...or maybe I would have either taken lightly or would have been sympathizing
with myself ;)...Whatever that could have been but there is something more to
it -
- How often we get carried away with appreciation and miss out on learning’s even in appreciation......Enjoy the state completely...Soak in the bliss...give yourself a pat :) but still reflection is important...
- How often do we take stride when there is criticism/lack of appreciation and still are able to carry on with the same amount of zeal/thrill/excitement that we get - in getting appreciated....(Closely connected to motivation...external & internal motivation...Getting a FISH)
- The whole cycle of the importance of appreciation...and the line between firmly grounded and being motivated and wanting to do more...
Hmmmm..Thinking!!!!
