Life, Principle and Change

We become part of our social and cultural system over the period as we grow, which is a known phenomenon.
But as we get exposed to things we haven't been seen or experienced before, our perception about life and principles change.
I remember having conversation with my Ex-Idea colleagues at a coffee table months back, specially with Sahil where the topic was 'Do principles change?'
We ended up concluding that 'Principles do change' in a person's life.

But recently i came across a situation where i got a chance to analyze & apply that conclusion.
But what i also came to know was i had assumed the conclusion in wrong way that day.
Its not principles which change, its people and there is nothing wrong.
On the contrary its healthy to adopt to change as we learn from life.
As we get exposed to different faces of life we tend to adopt different principles.
Probably that is what makes each person different from each other.

I even had a healthy debate on this part few days back with Dhruva.
The debate was 'Should we adopt to different principles as we get exposed to different faces of life?'
Though the debate ended with both of us tending to agree that we should adopt to them as we grow, we could not conclude it in firm words.
Here we also came across the resistance one shows when adopting from one principle to other.
This is a time where a lot of friction happens in one's head.Its nothing less than changing one's religion.
The common worry is what if the new principles we adopt to contradict our initial understanding of life?
Is this worry natural or just the show of resistance to change?

To simplify my point, let me try pictorifying my thoughts:
Lets say life is a pyramid, for definitely is not a 2D figure. (I would call it a polygon with more than 3 dimensions)
Anyways, the point is, life looks very different from every angle we look at it from.

Some gets an opportunity to look at this pyramid/life from multiple sides.
Of course this does not mean they have a better understanding about life, coz, it might also lead to more confusion :)

So the point I'm trying to make here
1. Is it the principle which change or the person.
a)If it is the person, then are principles constant?
b)If its principle, then should we conclude principles are dynamic in nature?

2. Should we adopt to different principles as we grow?
a)If yes, then are our initial understandings of life wrong?
b)If no, then can we survive with same principles within this ever changing world?

Presentation

It's been a while i attended any sort of self development training
Since i had no work and simultaneously the 'Presentation Skills' training came up i opted for it.

Well the write up is about an observation on the presentation.
We had to give a 3 minute presentation for pre-assessment.

So i talked about a topic too. Just to make it interesting i took a funny topic.
I was sitting in the bus on my way back home,thinking about that episode
Inspite of being an ordinary presentation the topic was found interesting by the team. They got involved so much that they even forgot to give their observations.
A tangential discussion started based on my topic and few of them started talking about thier experience too. So what went wrong/right

I came to the conclusion:
Discussion can turnout good inspite of ordinary explanation if the topic is found interesting.
If this is true then what about the contrary side.
Can the discussion still be good with a very boring topic with extra-ordinary presentation?

Well lets see if i can recollect some examples on most common topics
Cricket - Indian Premiere League, a hit!
Romance - Movies: Same theme but diffent repesentations has resulted in blockbusters

So the contrary side also holds true :)
