My learning from HBO Class: Choices of Life


Recently there was a very interesting activity conducted by our HBO Mam.

We were asked to divide our heart into three parts and share our opinion on what would we think the three most important things in our life would be.

We were given 3 post-it and asked to express the same on these papers.

I picked up the following 3 important aspects of my life.

1.    A happy married life and family. 

2.    Religious and Moral Values.
 
3.    Satisfying job. 


Very soon after we were asked to give away one post it,to the angel.

To interpret it,what would the first thing be that you would give up easily?.I had given away the 3'rd one.

Now we were left with only two best things of our lives.

Our HBO mam then informed us the Angel will come by again and forcefully take one out of these two.

This time the second thing taken is not by choice but by destiny.Does not this happen in real life?

We were asked to express from our heart as to how the feeling of disassociation with the two things would be. How does it feel?

This article gives you an insight of what you really want to do in life. It gives a meaning to life and its direction.

Besides this we had another activity where there was a division of class according to 5 questions,

what type of job? Life-work balance? 

It showed us where we stand and what our priorities are.

The insight from the activity for me was the importance of being faithful and moral. 

Don’t harm anyone and do wrong to anyone as God is seeing you from above. 

Try to make the best of what you have and don’t crib for what you don’t. 

My learning from HBO Class: 4 types of Generations

It was a unique type of class. We were divided into 4 groups and were given a role play for Coffee Shop,

We had to discuss about for types of generation in our work place

1. The Depression Generation Before 46
2. The baby bust generation 1965-1946
3. The Baby Boom generation1983- 1965
4. The Baby Boomlet generation 1983 Afterwards

I was a part of discussion of The Baby Boomlet generation.
There were 14 of us, Jade and John were the owners. Rest of us were tourists.

We discussed about strenghts and weakness of boomlet.
We also discussed how we will deal with other 3 generations.
Baby boomlet are not much loyal to work are more part-time job guys. They don't stick to one job,
Don't educate them
The Babybust generation was into cold war. They caused industrial revolutions. They had a great responsibility to transit between depression and now. They made lots of invention.

Babyboom  was responsible for technology outcome.They used to leave their off springs alone at home. Research on memory loss has indicated that the Baby Boom Generation has been confronted with increasing loss of memory due to the agitated life they lead, which requires that attention is put on many different things at a time. Since older generations were not faced with this rapid lifestyle, and newer generations have lived with this society all their lives, it is said that the Baby Boom Generation was the most damaged one in terms of memory loss due to age.
They didn't care about their next generation, they polluted environment and ate away all resources


Baby Boom let, it is the youngest generation.They don't believe in a permanent job.They are fast movers.
They don't respect elders and want to be independent.


We need to make a dialog with all the other three generations and tell the advantage and disadvantage to deal with them.

The importance of this activity was to know about all the four generation of workforce. As all of them are existing now. We should need to know how to deal with them.
