[Your
Name Here]
The
world is full of other people, and their number grows day by day. For
most of us, our social worlds also expand a little each day. Most of our
contacts with others are random, chance encounters with people we may
never meet a second time. But sometimes fate has other plans, and the
stranger you met just yesterday may change your life tomorrow. That uncertainty
is one of the things that keep life interesting. Yes, each of our circles
of acquaintances is constantly expanding. But when you take a moment to
reflect, you may be surprised at how that circle is not as wide as you
might have thought.
(For this
exercise, you'll need a blank square sheet of paper and a pencil or pen.)
1. First,
write your name in a box in the center of the paper.
2. Next,
try to fill the remaining blank space on the page with the names of people
you know. Take as long as you need, but try to fill in the entire page.
3. Now,
draw a single horizontal line through the center of the page. It should
cut through the box with your name in it.
4. Finally,
choose a name at random in each of the two sections of the page and circle
them both.
