In school, when students compare grades. If a student isn't at the top of the class, they shouldn't feel bad. The 'it's ok not to be first' concept can be applied here. They can look at their own progress, like how much they've improved in a particular subject. And they can also focus on other aspects like making friends, participating in extracurricular activities, which are also important for personal growth.
In a work environment, if you don't get the first promotion, it's ok. You can still learn from the experience and grow. Maybe the person who got promoted first has different skills, but you can focus on your own development. For example, you could take on new projects to gain more experience.
One way is in relationships. People should be allowed to make mistakes in how they communicate or act without the relationship being immediately damaged. For example, if a friend forgets your birthday, instead of getting angry, you can forgive them because everyone makes mistakes.
One way is in a family context. For instance, if your grandfather has a story of migrating to a new country and building a life from scratch. His story can influence your perspective on hard work and determination in your own life. You might be inspired to take risks and pursue your dreams, just like he did.
In a startup competition, the winning startup gets to share their success story. They can talk about their innovation, the challenges they overcame, and how they are going to change the market. Their story will be more publicized compared to the other startups that didn't win. This gives them an advantage in terms of attracting investors, customers, and partners as they are the ones 'telling the story' after being declared the winner.
In a work environment, a colleague might share a secret about a project's behind - the - scenes problems. You could take that as your story in the sense that you use that knowledge to improve your own work. You might say 'your secret is my story' as you use the insights from that secret to make better decisions in your own tasks related to the project.
In workplaces, it can be applied by promoting teamwork. Just like in the story, instead of competing selfishly, colleagues can support each other to achieve common goals.
The Jungle Book teaches about facing fears. In real - life, consider a person who is afraid of public speaking. They can take inspiration from Mowgli facing the scary Shere Khan. They can learn to stand up to their fear, practice, and gradually become more confident. Mowgli didn't run away from the tiger all the time; he learned to be brave. Similarly, the person can face their fear of public speaking head - on.
In real - life, we often face various challenges and experiences. If we apply the idea of 'Aida every story is love story', we can consider that many of our actions are motivated by love in some way. For example, a volunteer's story in helping the poor can be seen as a love story. They are showing love for humanity. Also, a student's hard work in studying can be for the love of knowledge or for the love of making their parents proud. It helps us to view our lives from a more positive and loving perspective.
One way is by using the visionary aspect of science fiction. For example, if science fiction often portrays a world without poverty, activists can take that as an inspiration and work towards poverty alleviation in real life. They can use the imaginative ideas from science fiction to develop new strategies for social change.
It can be applied by simply being aware of others. For example, at a coffee shop, let the person behind you in a big hurry go first.
In social gatherings, this social story can be applied. Let's say at a party. People can remember the 'free i can wait' idea. 'Free' here can mean being free to have a good time without being pushy. And 'I can wait' can apply when waiting for food to be served or for others to join a conversation. It helps in creating a more harmonious social environment.
