Can we learn something from our life stories?

[Adam Stepinski]

Dear Participants,
Let me start a discussion Can we learn something from our life stories?.
Is it possible to change people's behaviour, personality by observing other people's lives?
Have you found, in your partners' presentations, any facts, thoughts which made you consider or notice some problems or changed your way of perceiving the world?
Can "histories of our life" be teachers of life?

[robyn mcarthur]

yes i think that we can learn alot from other peoples life stories as they can give you an insigth into what other people have went through be it good or bad. i think that you can draw strength from other peoples storys and how they have coped with it if it was bad. i believe that peoples stories can teach you thigs that you may not have been aware before.

we can learn alot about each other & each others hobbies and interests and what kind of life a person has had.

Personally i think u can learn things from other peoples life storys but its up to yourself wether or not you want to change the way your living its easy to say yes ive been living in a bad way but its up to yourself to change that. many people do have experiences in their lifes that are good and bad, but this cannot help people from making bad or good discissions if the thought is in someones mind to do bad then they will if they want to do good then they will. its your state of mind that can change your way of perceiving the world.

Yes you can learn things from people's stories but it is weather or not you take their experiences on boradr to change your own life as you may only listen. however some stories maty change the way you behave depanmding on the subject such as alcohol.
