An Exercise for Developing a Playful Attitude

(1) Write a short solicitation letter for a job you would love to have. The organization that is hiring only has one criterium: you have to tell at least one funny personal story that illustrates how you came to want this job.
(2) Write a short resignation letter for a job you would hate to have. You have to tell at least one sad personal story that illustrates how you came to hate this job.
(3) Analyse the main differences between the two letters. Analyse the letters themselves, as well as your attitude and approach in writing them. Then try to conclude which lessons can be drawn to adopt a more playful attitude in your communication towards others in general.
