Friday morning - As the Professor entered classroom, he himself resonated with our thoughts - Not a good time to deal with numbers, but then here we are :-)
After we were all done with about an hour of thinking and calculating, results were presented and then the debriefing began.
Take-away from this action learning session - "Do not let your assumptions guide the knowledge you have; instead ensure that the knowledge you have becomes basis of your assumptions".
Considering that we were the only group who found our answer using an absolutely different approach than the rest, we have learned our lesson.
Highlight of the day - An encounter with THE HAPPY NOMAD.
Adam Pervez - of same age as most of us, who graduated from IE not so long ago, and who had what many will consider to be a "dream job".
But, he was not happy with what he was doing, so he set out to do what he knew will make him happy; So far, he has spent almost two years now, traveling all over the world, been to around 20 countries and volunteered for organizations working in each of these countries, to make this world a better place.
What is impressive about this guy is that he took the leap to follow his heart, to live his dream, to challenge the conventional definition of happiness that this world provides and to shout to the rest of this world "My Life - My Way".
That is quite an inspiration, especially for those of us who have come to IE, with some or other dream of our own. The next time I waver from walking towards my dream, I will remember the Happy Nomad and his Pursuit of Happiness and think - If he can do it, So can I.
