Attitude, Values, Beliefs with Reflection and Role Playing


Lets start with a story,

Once upon a time there was a herd of tiny elephants. who gathered for a competition. The goal was to reach to the top of a very high peak . A big crowd had gathered around the peak to see the race and cheer on the participants...

The race began...

Honestly, No one in herd really believed that the tiny elephants would reach to the top of the peak.

Crowd yelled statements such as:

"Oh, NO WAY, too difficult!! They will NEVER make it to the top."

"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

The tiny elephants began collapsing. One by one...... Except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher...

The crowd continued to yell

"It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny elephants got tired and gave up......But ONE continued higher and higher and higher...
And he had made to the top ................

Can you guess why he is able to make it to the top......

All of the other tiny elephants naturally wanted to know how this one elephant managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny elephant how the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal?

It turned out...
That the winner was DEAF!!!! 

The wisdom of this story is: Be deaf sometimes in your life to make things happen.



Here many events happened, it is the someones disability which would became turned out as strength. Its the attitude of one which is able to make it, it is belief that herd is motivating him, it is the belief of herd which has been broken for the good, values generated to part formed in the race.



Its role playing activity which is making shape of attitude, values and beliefs over a period of time via reflection which is handy tool to introspect. Attitude as defined in modern times as a act to respond towards a certain situation it may negative or positive. Values can be good or bad as perceived and beliefs generated out of society which may be again have frame of reference and transform over a period of time.


General introduction or Ice breaking activity plays an important part in role playing and one reflect to interest area to identify attributes. Transformation at this stage in this activity will add value in a inclusive way to strengthen integrity and overall value system.
