Today I had I session with Snehal ma’am on Appreciative
inquiry, this session was very different from any of my session I have attended
so far. Usually every session talks about analyzing problems critically in order to find the solutions. Today’s
session teach me to appreciate things in order to find solutions. By appreciating things in our life
, we embrace the goodness around us
but by critically analyzing them we make
our life a problem statement.
Appreciative inquiry means focusing on the good side of a person while ignoring
the negatives in him. Appreciative enquiry helps a person in evolving into a
better human being. Appreciation creates positive energy which in turn construct
an encouraging environment to work while a criticizing approach creates negative energy and give
birth to a discouraging environment. The best implication of this was
understood by me with the ’Yes Game’ that we played in the class. In this game
we were asked to say yes if a person is taking a right step towards the target
but were asked to keep quiet when the person is deviating from the target, With
these simple rules of the game we were only appreciating right things and ignoring bad things. The result of this
game was witnessed by me with the happiness and
goodness that got created in the class. The day ended with ‘Lord Ganesha
Aarti’. The true symbol for appreciated inquiry. According to Indian
mythology once all Gods competed among themselves to decide for
the best god. The contest says the God who will finish the travel around the
earth first will be considered the best. Lord Ganesh whose vehicle was rat, it
was impossible for him to travel on it,
Lord Ganesha didn’t criticize anyone and but he made a use of appreciated
inquiry, an arrive at solution of taking a travel around his parents.
Now I understand, life is not to crib about what we don’t have
but to make the best use of what we have.
