One of the main gaming lessons in life I received 17 years ago in an unexpected way.
I studied at school and occupied an active social position. Like any activity in a social place, my myself caught up periodically.
These were the last years of study, 10-11 class. Being the mayor of school or older class I wanted less and less, but once stating myself, not to hide back.
The times were such that activists were recalculated. And leaving the various sets and competitions between schools accounted for the same. I was sent to the competition between the mayors of schools! It was very strange. Moreover, it was not clear what to expect from this event.
In a couple of days, the task was known - to hold a gaming lesson with the children of primary classes.
I sighed hard and realized that this time I got exactly. All my knowledge about the children of primary classes came down to my sister, in a relationship with which I knew the main thing - not to touch her.
The next few evenings and night I spent as if in a fever. At first I was looking for some books, plasticine and other need for children (the Internet was not still my favorite at that moment). Found some entertainment on the type of children's holidays, but it was somehow past the ticket office.
On the night before the trip, I remembered everything that I was struck by me. What was surprised at the same time was quite easy.
And you know, I remembered not classes, but emotions that have ever experienced. With the most simple techniques, these emotions were caused by the professionals of various schools of leadership, camps and training.
I, as I remember that day, I go to class and look at me 25 more couples. They want to make noise, run and jump, I do not die from fear.
The first thing that we did with the permission of the teacher got up from the desk and made a big circle, where I taught them to let the "electric current" from the hands (squeeze the palms in turn).
And then we walked through the forest with closed eyes, and I told them that they would see a path, then the lake, the wall, animal, etc. And we were another 15 minutes discussed magic animals, paths and walls. And discussed how they behaved in the forest and how it affects their desires. Even the teacher was interested to listen to something new about their wards.
From this situation, I removed three extremely important lessons.
1. There is no useless activity. Any work enriches you, your experience, skills, looking latter.
2. Any business performed with the maximum return. The award will definitely be, though you can not immediately understand that this is a reward.
3. Absolutely any phenomenon can be viewed through the emotions that it gives you. And choose the most suitable impressions and emotions that you want to convey to people - the most important and most necessary art.
P. S. That day I received first place. I have not yet knew that my way of feeling the group, psychology and creating emotional magic for others began.
