[...] In early March we stayed in a condominium in Fort Pierce, Florida. We went there to soak up the sun, to get some rest and to do some writing. It was a lake-front condominium and when we walked into our temporary home, I was delighted to see three ducks floating on the lake directly in front of our porch. There were other water birds in the area and on one occasion a loon swooped down out of the sky to rest on one of the ducks. See photo here. We were both amazed at how peaceful the ducks seemed. They moved and slightly buoyed with the ripples of the water and were peacefully resting near the pipe outlet to the lake. “They probably enjoy the little outflow of water,” we thought, “That may be the attraction of our area and why they stay so dedicated to this spot.” [...]
It’s great Aviv. Thanks for sharing, with no question, a great lesson.
Hi Aviv,
I’m sure that everybody always try to complete scenarios like you did at the beginning with the plastic ducks.
I believe that we all have a key, that is instinctive, when we feel that it is easier to complete the scenario than look at it and try to understand what is the real, we rather complete it.
Now that we know that the duck are plastic we can conclude why did they allowed the loon to swoop down to rest on it so peacefully. Even if a real duck could allow it, the instant reaction is to go away from the loon at the beginning. This would be a real reaction.
So my take away form this key is that we have to take a deeper look when we see that expected reaction doesn’t happen. This way we will find out if this is a completely new approach or non real facts.
Thanks for sharing this Key.
I still have with me some of your feedbacks from a Blue Belt training in Brazil; set up for new opportunities!
See you
Andrea
