 A very
wealthy person gave you a debit card and told
you to use it as much as you want to make
yourself happy.
What are you going to do with it? Make list of
what you want to have. Write as many as you
want.
How do you feel as you
do the Debit Card
Challenge?

Which among the items in

your list you like the
most? Why?

If ever you were given the

chance in real life to have
one among the list, which
would you choose? Why?
Does your choice different
from what you answer in
question number 2? Why or
why not?

Let your classmate read your

list. Ask her/him to give or write
a quick impression of yourself
based on the list you showed
him/her.

Is the quick
impression of your classmate
has some truth about who
you are?
