Fish! Fish! Fish!
We have come across this words thousand and million times. But, Fish Philosophy? That's rather new to me. I was shocked when Prof threw a question to us beofre the raya break. 'What colour of underwear are you wearing? Do you choose the colour of your underwear?' Those questions were great opener of the lecture! Funny yet effective!
After reading the site recommended, I went on searching for more details on this philosophy and of course, I have made myself clearer regarding the fish philosophy concept.
There are 4 main principles in Fish philospohy namely:
a) play
b) make their day
c) choose your attitude
d) be there
Play - This does not mean goof off, but it does mean bring a light-hearted spirit to life. Think about how much little kids learn by exploring, experimenting, playing. Why shouldn't we all approach life with the same curiosity and interest? Besides, it is more fun!
Make their day - There are times when we keep on asking others ' What have you done for me?' But, have we ever thought that instead of asking people, we ask ourselves - 'How can I make his or her day?' If we were to turn the focus and do little things to make others feel good. Hence, we can have a powerful and positive impact on other people's lives.
Choose your attitude - many things in this world are uncontrollable and they are out of our hands at times. Somehow, we do have a choice on how we respond to the little things in life. By accepting responsibility for the attitude we choose, we also empower ourselves to change it.
Be there - When we are communicating with others, we have to focus on that very moment and also with the person whom we are communicating. We are responsible for 'being who we are while we are doing what we are doing'.
