Battle @ Kryptonite

Finally it was time. To fight Dr Do Evil and get rid of the evil menace. However, only the worthy will be able to fight and successfully win the evil legions and banish them forever. Dr Do Evil came and conquered the field of Kryptonite. At any point in time, one hero team had to keep him at bay by fighting and warding off his evil minions. The rest of us had to fight mini battles to prove our worth. At each mini battle station, there was a challenging task to do. We had to work together as a team, use the success principles in practice and change our strategy till we mastered certain skills. Once we had done that, we would obtain a password and go to Shifu – Professor Jive. He will determine if the password, the secret ingredient was the right one and if we were worthy of fighting Dr Do Evil. After a few rounds of finding and fighting, it was Harvey Norman that found the secret ingredient and it read :

There is no secret ingredient. It actually is nothing. As long as you believe, you got it. Whatever you can conceive and perceive you can achieve. You got it in you. It is your destiny to fight Dr Do Evil. Now gather all the hero teams together, select a worthy representative from each group, combine forces and fight Dr Do Evil and diminish him for good!

And so we did, with our army of heroes successfully destroyed the Dr Do Evil castles that had been planted on the field.

But heres the twist-Dr Do Evil we did not destroy, instead we gave him a chance to repent. He became good. Heres the lesson : We always need to seek the goodness in other people, give them a chance and embrace forgiveness. If we seek the goodness in people, goodness will come to us. Smile and always find only the good in people, junior heroes.

Royal Rumble

The next morning we played this game called the great raid. Each group had to build their superhero hq around the area. Then we were each given battleships to attack other battleships or superhero hqs. This was a test of resilience and strategy. Every time we wanted to attack each other we had to say WHOOSAY!! and both parties had to squat down waiting for the superhero coach to come. They would then issue a challenge, and whoever won this challenge would win the hq or battleships. This was a game of challenge, doing whatever it takes to get to our outcome, resilience, and getting up again and again and again every time we face failure or setbacks! And how fun it was…

Superhero Identity

At night, we played this game called HERO IDENTITY. We were instructed to pick up golden beans around Kryptonite. Then we could pick up 10,20,30 or 70 beans and exchange for tidbits and coke at the market. However, when we did that we made the mistake of leaving our camp booklets lying around. The whole day it has bee emphasized that this represented our identity. So in search of short term benefit, we actually neglected something that is truly important to us, our values, our identities. From here we learnt that sometimes we need to have the integrity and principle of living up to our values and not get distracted by short term gains and distractions. We also learnt to do the right thing and not be easily swayed by what others are doing around us or the bad things that people may suggest to us. Professor Jive actually said that our identity means everything to us….without it we are nothing. Have you found out or realized what are your values and identity?
