Last night I went on and "Orientation Meeting" to start a new course. I was mainly to introduce other students in the area doing the same course and to introduce us to the software which will help us through the course.
The ice breaker was interesting, After collecting a chocolate and "pairing up" we had to go through a list of likes and dislikes to find out a bit out him/her and introduce them to the rest of the group. The headings on the list included "what would you put into room 101", "3 items you''d take to a desert island", "future aims". The answers given where really quite interesting. Here's a selection:
For room 101: Religion, cos it caused wars; flies; ex-girl friend;
For the desert island: Laptop; women; booze; food; x-box (with TV) (And as the instructor commented "may be some haven't got the idea of a desert island!")
Likes: Money; "gadgets"; music
Dislikes:
Future aims: To make money; be happy; leave the country
Mine, for those interested where
Room 101: pollution, the "nanny culture",
Desert Island: my wife, my Bible, Swiss Army Penknife
Likes: Music and motorcycle
Future aims: Balloon ride over a wildlife park in Africa, Scuba dive some coral reefs,
I wasn't amazed that money came high up on peoples list, but at the intensity of the "like", especially from the younger people. Its as though their life is centered around making money and nothing else. That was their purpose in life... shame.
I am looking forward to the rest of the course and as to where it will lead me.... time will tell.... watch this space.
