Snow and sun, two
opposite faces of nature, one cold and the other hot. Despite their contrasts,
they existed together in harmony.
Zeynep and Arda's
mother compared them to snow and sun. They were different, but they were not in harmony like sun and snow. One talked little, the other talked a
lot. One was very organized while the other was very disorganized. One
was very active while the other used to be very quiet. One was a bundle of love
while the other seemed distant and aloof. Although the age difference between
them was small, they could not agree on almost anything. One was a picky eater
and the other would eat anything. Like two polar opposites, Arda did not like
the things that Zeynep liked. Zeynep turned her nose up at the things Arda was
interested in. Every day they found something to fight about. What one called
white, the other called black. Even though her mother and father were saddened
by this situation, they could not control them. Of course, one day they would
make up, but when?
One winter morning, the
snow had painted the earth white.
Despite the frost, they
wanted to go out and play.They didn't even hear their mother, who urged them, “Play
together!”
Zeynep was building a
snow castle and Arda was designing his snowman. They were both immersed in the
game. Arda wanted to make his snowman bigger, but he had difficulty dragging
the pile of snow by himself. When he couldn't carry it despite his attempts, he
felt like giving up. Just then Zeynep noticed him. First she thought, “Should
I help?” Then she was overcome with pride and turned her back and left. But
after a few minutes she felt uncomfortable. She went back and approached Arda
and said, “Let's try it together if you want.”
Arda was surprised at
first, then smiled slightly; “Sure...” he said quietly.
The two of them worked
together and started to roll the big pile of snow.
After a while they
managed to attach it to the body of the snowman.For Arda and Zeynep, this was
much more than building a snowman.
It was proof that “we
can actually have fun together”. It was a step towards breaking down their
prejudices. They were united, they had succeeded together. Arda quietly walked
away from Zeynep. He threw a snowball over Zeynep's shoulder from far away. He
smiled at Zeynep and hid while preparing his ammunition. Zeynep started to
move, “Here you go, here you go”. This was how the snowball war began in
such a joyful way. The sounds of children playing snowballs, a sign of joy,
filled the garden. They played games together all day long, building giant snow
castles, drawing snow angels...
In the evening, both
were tired but happy. The family wanted
to reinforce their bonding during the day. They played a family box game
together.
The next morning Zeynep
asked Arda to play together. Even though Arda liked to play alone, he adapted
to Zeynep.
“But no spending time
on the street until the evening, we'll come home after two hours and study,
okay? Because I have to prepare for the exam.”
Zeynep agreed and said, “Deal!” They played games with their friends in
the neighborhood. Then they came home and studied together. Arda did his lesson
while Zeynep read a book. They started to manage their differences and discover
the beauty in each other.
The Experiential Design
Teaching states: “Differences make people beautiful.The one who can adapt despite differences manages communication.”
The sun and the snow were different beauties in our lives. One was cold, calm and white; the other was warm, bright and sparkling. Despite their differences, they were in harmony. Human beings want to get close to those who are similar to them. And life often brings people with different characteristics under our noses. Differences that do no harm are an opportunity for people to develop and learn. Hoping to be among those who understand and adapt to the good.
Experiential Design Teaching is the knowledge of reality that enables people to design their future through past experiences. It offers individuals strategies they need in order to solve their problems and achieve their goals.
"Who is Who", "Relationship Mastery", "Psychology of Success" programs provide individuals the methods to being happy and successful.
