I will return to the real world again today. The last two weeks have been a smorgasbord of learning, bonding and fun!! Cocooned in a unique risk-free and helpful environment, I have learnt a lot about others, the world and mostly about myself. I look forward to applying my new found learnings in the real world.
The biggest take away for me from this experiment is the need to listen - too often we talk 'at' each other instead of 'to' each other. The other learning is a weird thing called the 'trust equation' that actually has a formula for building trust :-) And perhaps the ease (and indeed rewards) of stepping outside my comfort zone.
But most of all, my learning is that people are very good at heart. All one needs to do to bring out this fundamental goodness (and determination, resolve, honesty, care, love and...) is to show them a possibility. I think that is all we need to make this world a better place. Sounds very 'Matrix'-like, but I believe it to be true :-)
Watch out world!!

Alam bhai,
the experiment was a 'risk free' environment where each one of the 30 participants were trying to step out of their comfort zones (and therefore taking risks and appearing stupid, which they would not do in real life). Simultaneously, each of the 30 was also watching out for the others and truly caring about each others growth. This was the (spectacularly successful) experiment. If only we had this in real life :-)
"But most of all, my learning is that people are very good at heart. All one needs to do to bring out this fundamental goodness (and determination, resolve, honesty, care, love and...) is to show them a possibility." Good to see people still thinking and believing this way. There are very few people who believe this way.
