Gain insight from another species:
Birds - Throughout our travels we were able to observe numerous small birds flying around and scavenging for food. From them we learned about resiliency and not getting disheartened from a no. These birds were out in the cold rain and still going at it instead of getting under cover because they needed to eat. They would hang around the food trucks and food stands essentially begging people to give them a few scraps. Often, people would just walk away and ignore their efforts, yet they kept at it and never gave up and left. This lesson was an important one to have reinforced during this challenge because during the day we had several people tell us they did not want to talk, and it was disheartening. However, because of the lesson we gained from the birds, we kept at it and were able to talk with numerous strangers throughout the day. |
