Sadness and Joy
Mission 2
Children are the great teachers of joy
Why?
- Because they are natural
- Because they live their emotions to the fullest
- Because they concentrate on what they do and live in the present moment.
- Because they do not rant with their emotions: they offer them with all generosity.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO LEARN FROM CHILDREN!
When we are very young, we don’t need to be taught: we learn as we go because our brain is prepared for it.
A child doesn’t ask himself if he can or can’t do something, he just does it! You just have to watch a baby crawling, does someone explain how to do it?
By dint of trying, he makes his brain integrate development, exploration and therefore learning.
When we leave the familiar zone, the comfort zone, all our senses expand and thus life is rich in new things and surprises that stimulate us.
We become curious and connect with the emotion of joy, which is the engine of motivation.
CURIOSITY + JOY = LEARNING
Answer the following questions in your notebook:
- Which of your learnings as a child do you remember most happily?
- What people, places, or situations do you think helped make this happen?
- From what you have learned in the last five years, what do you think has been the most important?
- What you learned came from, from joy or from suffering?
