A
Different Point of View
We would have often heard that other people’s point of
view can be different from ours. Their way of looking at a situation can be
different, their approach to solve a problem can be -contrary to us. Their
opinions can be different. And in life, we should accept others opinions too.
Sometimes small children can also teach us how to think and analyze things
differently.
One day
when I was teaching in one of my class, after finishing the lesson I advised
them to read books and get them issued from the school library. One of the
girls sitting on the second bench told me that they have a book right now and
it is about the three girlfriends. And I immediately replied, “I know the
story, two girls were best friends and when the third girl came in between
their friendship was broken and one girl suffered (I was remembering my past).”
But the girl replied, “no mam, new girl was not the reason of their broken
friendship. It was a bad boy in the class that was the reason of her all
problems.” Now I wanted to read that book. I borrowed it from the girl and read
it. The story was same as I had expected, but the interpretation of the story
was different by that girl.
She
analyzed the story in a very different manner, may be even an elder won’t be
able to do that and taught me to think from a different point of view about a
common situation or problem.
