Confidence Course


It's been ages since I last climbed those wooden poles with staples. So...it's time to put myself again through those ropes, poles and steels in the name of experiential learning.









With the cicada chiming in the background, sun shining on canopies and a breath of good O2, it is good to be away from the sounds associated with the routine.

Experential Learning. Learning out of the box. Sounds damn cliche. But also damn timely.

The height of the confidence course is only as high as how you perceive. The height of the confidence course did not change during the time when your feet were still firmly on the ground or when you are looking down from the unsteady high ropes. The only thing that has changed is the point of view and the voice that was screaming in your head, convincing yourself that it's really safe to leap out from a 5 metre tower and leaving your life in the hands of

  • a good steel cable
  • a few carabinas
  • and of course, the big guy up there that there is not even a minute chance that any weird twist of fate can happen (I watch too much disasters documentaries on Discovery..)
    a few carabinas

So is fear. Fear that is created in the crevices in your mind and telling you all the possibilities of the untowards happening.堤防,还是假象?

Darn..it takes a morning of sweating it out for the message to be apparent. 人真地会被每天繁杂的琐事而变麻木。


Leap of Faith - catch me if I fall...
