FOR THE YOUNGEST:

  • What were the important elements not to sink the glass?  glass size; depth of the glass, size of the pebbles, stability of the glass, positioning of the pebble, delicacy, ...)

 

FOR THE OLDEST:

  • Am I aware that each hit has an irreversible impact on the next? Do you have a concrete example like this in your life?
  • In your life, do you sometimes have the impression that despite your best efforts you will not be able to get out of it the next time around? Is that a reason not to try and do your best?

#choices #priorities

 

  • The actions we take have an impact and commit us.

 

For example, if I choose to work abroad or in another province, I know that I will see my family less often. I need to know that I will have to make sacrifices before I leave.

 

  • The decisions we make have repercussions on those around us, and conversely the decisions of others have an impact on me. So it's very important that my actions/decisions that have an impact on those around me are well thought out and taken with a bit of hindsight.

 

Good advice: Think before you act! Do your best!
