Barter Puzzle

Activity 

On 2017.07.04 we did Barter Puzzle as the PPD activity. We were separated into 4 groups and each group was asked to cut a picture into 75 pieces. Then we put them into four bags. But some parts of each picture put into another bag and shuffled the pieces. All teams were given 76 pieces each and asked to complete the puzzle. Then we had to make the picture and also to find missing pieces.

First we tried to make the picture. Then we identified most of our parts are missing. Then we had to talk with other teams and ask for other missing parts. When we were asking for the parts some groups didn’t give our parts. Then we have to exchange pieces with two groups. 

Wheel Part
The picture that we got was really difficult one. There was a wheel in one corner and it took more than 30 minutes to complete that part. Some of pieces have stolen from other groups. Because we didn’t expect it. We didn’t think so far and share all the parts with other groups. Finally we had nothing to exchange with them. So we ended up with last place.

My Experience
Though we got last place we learn so many things from that activity. We had to negotiate with different type of people. That was a really difficult task than we thinks. But it improves our communication skills. We didn't think so far and we hadn't pieces to change. Any how that was a great experience for me and my team. We enjoyed it very well.

Life is a characteristic distinguishing physical entities having biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Luckily we got human life rather than being a animal. As the science, human beings are the most intelligent creature in this planet. But when we some acts of humans we can't really believe that humans are intelligent that much as science says. The problem is not the really behind that. People don't understand the purpose of life and why they came here and what happen to them last. There are three main purposes of life. Happiness Happiness is a state of well-being that encompasses living a good life—that is, with a sense of meaning and deep satisfaction. Success Success can mean: feeling that tingle of excitement about what you do, sticking with what matters through hard times, living a...

Throughout our lives we involve different types of activities which improves our skills. It is my pleasure to share my life experience here. I'm a university student and I'm learning Personal Progress Development (PPD) as a subject. It is a great advantage that I got in my university life.

Look Back

Almost 2 years with PPD has gone. But what we gathered with those sessions was invaluable. We had fun always and it was great support to our personal improvement. I can still remember how we had started our PPD session when we came to University. We had an introductory session where we got to know each other and something interesting about our batch mates. All the sessions was really good and they were arranged well as we never feel any boring. We had some sessions in the ground too. Blind squad, Blind Submarine those games are really unforgettable. I'm getting this opportunity to thank Ms. Sarasi to being with us till the end of this PPD journey. And also Upamali Madam and other mentors who joined for our PPD session. If they were not with us those sessions will not be successful.
