DREAMCATCHERS’ ROUGH GUIDE
1. Get out of your comfort zone and become comfortable.
You have chosen to do this to get out of your comfort zone. To see, hear and find out new things, meet people who’s life is very different from yours. Appreciate the difference! And don’t worry if things get confusing or uncomfortable…its because you are being transformed. Transformed into tomorrow’s change agents/leaders.
2. Be genuinely interested and not just interested
Everyone has come into this world to just time pass. Facebook, games, coffees, college… all time pass! But now that you have volunteered to get a push in the back, do time pass dil se! Be genuinely interested in the democracy that India is. Be genuinely interested in India, and in her people! They all play a role in your future.
3. See the possibilities with fresh open minds
You have had the benefit of education, of opportunities, this is another opportunity – to take your fresh eyes and minds out there and share the opportunities that you have had, the possibilities that lie ahead of you, with the rest of India.
4. Make connections and you will be touched.
Make eye contact, touch someone, show some understanding…and make a tangible connection.
5. Be an open source in a connected world!
We need ‘meaning’ from you – voices, thoughts, ideas – you are the amplifier of that voice – contribute to the voice but don’t try to control what it is saying – be an open source, so that the voices reach the right ears, ears of those in decision making positions and your journey will be completed by others.
6. Trust each other because we trust you.
Lets trust each other. Trust your subject, trust your team members and play your role to the best of your abilities.
7. When you don’t know what to do next, suggest ‘what if’!
8. Every question should open up many possibilities.
9. Dreams are visions. Visions inspire visionaries.
Government makes policies, decision makers make decisions, business creates ideas based on figures and assumptions. Everyone thinks that they know what people need. We need to show them what people are really dreaming about.
10. Believe that we can have an India of our dreams. Focus on positive visions.
