What you are telling yourself

Today i attended an adventure education program as a facilitator at an institution. The program's aim is to bring across the value of communication. At the end there was a speech on how the students, if they just put in a little more effort, can do well in their studies and so on. And well, here are some of my thoughts and observations.

I saw people participating excitedly to people not giving a fart's worth of interest in the activities. Well i could imagine what the latter were thinking, probably along the lines of: Its a waste of time!, These activities are so lame, I don't need this speech about how I'm not a loser etc.

What the group of detached and uninterested students had struck me was this: Who told you the program was a waste of time? Who told you that the activities are lame?

Who told YOU?

Why isn't it you yourselves truly?

So my question is: What do you want to tell yourself?
