Life Lesson: Where is your Remote?
Description:
Remote is a control devise.
Every one knows the functions of a television remote. When we operate from a remote television just
obeys. In the same way within every one
of us a controlling power which determines our reactions to an event, our
attitude to an event, our approach to an event..
Intent:
To prepare oneself to face any situation keeping the ones
remote(control) with oneself
To analyze we give away our remote or keep the remote with
us
To be aware that the our remote is with us and not with any
body else
To explore possibilities of keeping our remote with us
always
Life Lesson:
We have no choice whatever event takes place in outside, but
certainly we have a choice of attitude towards the event. We give away our remote not only to people
but also to inert things like mobile, video games, television, face book etc.,
That which takes away our time and energy beyond our control, we should be
aware and exercise sufficient alertness to deal with such instruments with
firmness. It does not mean we have to
avoid entertainment but it does mean it should be according to our
dictates. But what we see around us many
students give away their remote and act according to the dictates of the
instrument. One has to take note instrument is life less and nothing to do with
us. We give life to it by giving away
our remote.
Questions:
Do we all have our remote with us?
When do we give away our remote to others to operate us as
they wish?
Can we give our remote to others? When?
What happens when we give away our remote?

Remote given away. If we are not perturbed over the remarks of
other – our remote is with us.

Activity: Role play ideas:
Law of the Garbage Truck:
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a
parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes,
skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car
whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled
and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did
you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital! 'This
is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage
Truck. 'He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around
full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of
disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and
sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave,
wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other
people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful
people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Their remote is always
with them. Even if they slip their
remote sometime they will get it back as quickly as possible.
Can you enact a role play based on the above situation in
family or in school or with peer group or in society?
