Just so happens that my class (i call it the happiness class) requires us to do a project about our reflected best selves. Kind of like a learning experience through stories from others when you added value in their lives.

Instead of focusing on weaknesses, the exercise wants to bring out the strengths in us, because their view is that developing strengths are more important than trying to limit our weaknesses. Just like how a striker should just focus on scoring more goals than trying to defend.

I must say it was a humbling lesson because it makes you realise that you're contributing something to people's lives just by leading your life. And it serves as a reference point for where I currently am at with regards to the person that I want to become. For instance, I found that I value relationships with people and family, which is something that I was concerned with (not the evil banker). At the same time, it makes me even more motivated to continue what I'm doing.

After writing a somewhat gloomy letter to the shareholders a month ago, I think I have found a perfect pick-me-up to guide me through the rest of the semester and hopefully a clearer direction in life.

A big thanks for everyone that contributed in a way or another, to better times ahead. Cheers!

ps: the report does sound a little like it could be used for a dating agency or something hahahaha

that is the way ti motivate people! the last time my friend was trying to organise a religion topic on women empowerment but the keyword she used was extremely way demoralising. she explained to me on the phone that the meeting will be about talking about women's weaknesses. i told her off that ur keyword sucks. don't know if she got what i mean!

hahah who would want to go to a meeting that talks specifically about your weaknesses!!? positive reinforcements seem to work better than negative
