Balloons And Happiness. A teacher gave each student a balloon, who had to blow it up, write his or her name on it and throw it in the hallway where all were mixed with everyone else’s. Then the students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one was able to find their own one. At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon they found and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within few minutes each student had their own balloon. ‘These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is only looking for their own. However if we care about someone else’s happiness we will ultimately be able to find ours, too.’ Se non è vero, è ben trovato. If it isn’t true, it is well founded.
