Self-confidence, perseverance, curiosity: Summer as training for life

Imagine that your holiday trip went wrong right at the beginning. How do you react? I take a deep breath and look for new opportunities.
First, I will rant a bit, then I will let it flow.
I am trying to find someone who can solve it.
I close myself off and wait for it to pass.
I take it as a challenge to be overcome.

In the sand, you find an old diary. What will you do? I will open it and start reading right away.
I will consider whether I should return it to the owner.
I contemplate who left him there – and why.
I'll leave it be, it's not my business.
I will take it home as inspiration for my own writing.

During the summer activity, the others decide to go a different direction than you would like. I will adapt, it won't be the end of the world.
I propose a compromise that could satisfy everyone.
I will step back, but I will remember it in my mind.
I stand by my opinion and I am trying to convince the group.
I will part ways – I will go my own way.

You will have the opportunity to learn something completely new during your vacation. I'm going for it – without thinking.
First, I am finding out what it entails.
I am wondering if this will bring me something in the future.
I'm interested in it, but I'm hesitant if I can do it.
I'd rather stick to what I know.

You forgot an important thing for the trip and you are far from home. I will start looking for a solution around.
I will call someone who could help.
I will skip the activity and adjust the plan.
I will start to think about how it could have happened.
I'll say to myself: what will be, will be.

You will meet someone who has a completely different perspective on life. I ask and I listen – it fascinates me.
I am debating, but with interest.
I prefer to keep my distance – it is not close to me.
I am looking for common points where we can meet.
I will start comparing his life to mine.

You are facing a physically demanding activity that you chose for yourself. I will finish it, even if I have to crawl.
I watch how others are doing – and I adjust my pace.
I will reconsider if it is worth it to me.
I will seek support and encouragement.
I will focus on each small step.

You will receive an unexpected compliment for something you did just casually. It will surprise me, but it will make me happy.
I'll make it simple - it wasn't anything big, after all.
I tell myself – maybe I am good at something after all.
I will start to think about what people actually think of me.
I accept it with gratitude and move on.

During the evening fire, a deep conversation about personal topics begins. I listen, but I prefer to remain silent.
I will share if I feel safe.
I will gently redirect the conversation to something neutral.
I openly talk about myself – I love those moments.
I analyze what others say and what it says about them.

The summer season is coming to an end and you are reflecting. I am looking for what has brought me new knowledge.
I recall the moments that surprised me.
I'm considering what I could do differently next time.
I feel sadness that it went by so quickly.
I am making a list of what I have accomplished and what awaits me.
