LABS PLEDGE
“I will always try and be the best in whatever I do. I will not relax even after I have reached my goal; I will strive to improve further and expand my sphere of activity, because I am convinced that there is always scope for further improvement and growth.
Besides, I realize that life is a journey ,not a destination. while I climb to the top, I will remember my humble beginnings and how LABS made a difference to my life.
I will do my best to make a difference in the lives of those around who are less fortunate. I will always do that which will make my family, my community and my country proud.”

The problem that we don’t see
1. What we do is our Behaviors
2. How we see others is our Mind-set
3. There are two ways of responsive, resistant
4. The responsive mind-set is being out of (out of/in the) box
Where we see people as person
5. The resistant mind-set is being in the (out of/in the)box where
We see people as object
6. Write down ways of seeing people as an object
• vehicle
• obstacle
• Irrelevant
What we are not saying: being out of the box means being soft and being in the box means being hard.
What we are saying: Almost any behavior is possible from both ways of Mind-set.
Think for a moment and look at your recent past, recall if you have seen anybody in your life like vehicles, Obstacle & Irrelevant.
A. vehicle:
Name of the person:
In which situation you have seen him/her as a vehicle.
B .Obstacle:

How do we get into box?
There are two ways to get into the box. One is when we betray (dishonor) our thought of helpfulness and the other way is though always boxes.
Think of a situation where you had a thought of helping somebody, but you didn’t do it. Mention it the speed provided.
Name of the person
1. When I get a thought to help people, am I seeping them as
2. After I betray my sense, I am seeing the people as
3. In self-betrayal I need to feel
4. Betraying my sense, I get into
Important to understand:
If we don’t carry any justifications after not taking action on our thoughts, it is not considered as betrayal, and we don’t get into the box.
RED Flags:
1. List down your Red flags when you are in the box?
Important to understand:
When we get into a box and be there for longer time, then it becomes part of our character. These are called already always boxes. We get into these boxes when someone threatens our boxes.
We typically have two kinds of already always boxes:
1. Better then box: When somebody challenges our abilities, then we get into “better than” box
2. Worse than box: when our inabilities are highlighted or reinforced by somebody, then we get into “worse than” box.
Write down your red flags for following situation.
1. You think you are good at something and someone says you are not.
2. You think you are not a good at something, despite people come and say again and again that you are not good at the same.
3. You go to home expecting that your sister will give you coffee immediately, but your sister will not do.
4. You expect your facilitator to not to ask any question, but he asks.
5. You ask money from your father. He will not give you.
6. You come late to class, your facilitator asks you to stand outside for some time.
7. you are calling one of your friends for an urgent issue, but she/he is not picking up your call.
Collusion-Life inside the Box
Reflect to the below situations:
1. When we are in the box, when do we communicate?
2. How will it impact the moods/emotions of the opposite person?
3. if I discuss with my father/mother, being in the box, how would it impact my relationship with them?
4. Me being in the box how will I cause problem to my family member?
5. Me being in the box, how will I cause problem to my friend in LABS?
6. me being in the box, how will I cause problem to my collagues in the workplace?(imagine)
