Acted out by 109'12 Classic as an introduction to the session on Peer Pressure and Bullying. Once upon a time, there was a young traveller. When the young traveller was just a little boy, his father brought him mountaineering. They walked far and wide, climbing up and down steep slopes. It was cold and snowy, and they had little food.
Soon, the young traveller was exhausted, and he just collapsed on the ground, and let out a huge sigh. He complained, “I’m tired!” Soon all around him, he heard cries of “I’m tired, tired, tired”. The young traveller did not know what it was, and felt frightened and even more tired. He ran to his father and explained the strange phenomenon. As of course, his father knew very well that that was an echo, but he did not want the young traveller to find out. Instead, he told him to go to the same place where he had been, and shout, “I’m HAPPY!” And so the young traveller did what he was told, and he miraculously felt less tired, and happier as he heard the mountains ring with cries of “I’m HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY” all around. Moral of the story The best source of encouragement comes from the heart, but all these words come from our mouth. But from that very same mouth, comes words that can hurt others as well. And as the story goes, if everyone echoes those same hurtful words, the effect can get worse. BUT if everyone says those encouraging words, the effect of it will grow much bigger than if it was to be said by one. As a group and as a class, all of us can motivate each other as a group, and we all know how uplifting that can be (: Comments are closed.
