5. 6 CONDITIONS FOR YOUR JOURNEY TO BE SUCCESSFUL

5.1. Creativity

5.1.1. What do you need to be creative about solving problems?

5.1.1.1. A kick in the seat of the pants

5.1.1.1.1. when we make decisions, we must be (at the same time):

5.1.2. Excercise

5.1.2.1. Without removing the pen from the page, join all the points of this figure using only four lines.

5.1.2.1.1. Connecting the dots

5.2. Confidence in yourself

5.2.1. Exercise

5.2.1.1. Let’s read very slowly the first verses of the poem by Pablo Neruda ‘Keeping Quiet’:

5.2.1.2. Now we will count to twelve and we will all keep still. For once on the face of the earth, let’s not speak in any language; let’s stop for one second, and not move our arms so much. It would be an exotic moment without rush, without engines; we would all be together in a sudden strangeness. […]

5.3. Your identity

5.3.1. Exercise 1

5.3.1.1. Silence please...

5.3.1.1.1. 1

5.3.1.1.2. 2

5.3.1.1.3. 3

5.3.1.1.4. 4

5.3.1.1.5. 5

5.3.1.1.6. 6

5.3.1.1.7. 7

5.3.1.1.8. 8

5.3.2. Exercise 2

5.3.2.1. Change your perspectives: ‘How many lenses do you have in your life? If you always use the same lens you will always get the same pictures’. Let’s try a brief visualization exercise. I’m going to ask you to imagine a world map; now close your eyes for ten seconds until you can see it in front of you. Now open your eyes:

5.3.2.1.1. The World Map

5.4. What do you believe in?

5.4.1. Exercise

5.4.1.1. Let’s now spend an hour writing our short essay, our story. After writing it, we’ll read it aloud and record it (there are free applications available to do this). What do you believe in? What are your values? What are your roots? You may want to start by writing ‘I believe in …’. Again, looks awful. Make sure it is something positive and constructive, not something ‘against’ someone.

5.5. In the zone

5.5.1. Exercise

5.5.1.1. Think of the last time you were so absorbed and concentrated in an activity that you forgot about the time that flew by, in which you were neither bored nor stressed but, sucked into a magical whirlwind, completely present and concentrated, full of energy and enthusiasm.

5.5.1.2. Another way to discover flow, and therefore our treasure, is to observe how easily we do certain things (for example, sports, learning languages, speaking in public, mathematics …). If we succeed naturally or much more easily than other people, we are approaching the treasure.

5.6. The others helping your growth

5.6.1. We’re not islands; this means that in order to find our treasure we need other people, those we trust and who know us best. Let’s start by sharing the answers we have found in this chapter with two or three people, for example our best friend, our partner, a family member. What do they tell us? Do our answers coincide with those of the people who know us well?

5.6.1.1. To help us understand the importance of others in discovering the treasure within us, we can use the Johari window, invented in 1955 by two American psychologists, Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham (the name of the window comes from combining their first names). The window consists of a square, divided into 4 quadrants.

5.6.1.1.1. The Quadrant

5.6.1.2. The horizontal dimension considers the degree of knowledge that the person has of themselves, for example in terms of personality, attitudes, impressions and emotions transmitted to others; this last type of knowledge can be known to the person only through interaction with ‘the outside’: a way of identifying the value on this scale is, therefore, the frequency with which the subject explicitly asks for feedback from others on their behaviour and the impressions it has generated. The vertical dimension, on the other hand, indicates the degree of knowledge that others have of the person. The combination of these two variables leads to the identification of four areas.

5.7. CONCLUSION

5.7.1. The Treasure

5.7.2. The treasure is within us. In order to find it we must use our creativity, turning us into explorers, artists, judges and warriors; we took a moment to reflect, aware that we had to trust ourselves. When answering some key questions, we then clarify what our professional and personal identity is, focusing in particular on our values and the importance of others in our human and professional growth.

5.7.2.1. THE MOTHER OF ALL QUESTIONS

5.7.2.1.1. Don't talk about what you did, but ask yourself if you love what you do, what you have learned and if you've managed to help others: nothing else matters.

8.2.1. MIND MAPS

8.2.1.1. LEONARDO: A GREAT MINDMAPPER

8.2.1.1.1. Mind mapping enables you to literally see “the forest” (an overview) and “the trees” (details) in a single view – in other words, a mind map gives you a better sense of how all of the topics and subtopics are related to each other. That, in turn, makes mind mapping more generative. In other words, seeing the topics and their relationships often spurs additional ideas!

8.2.1.2. “Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
