Here are some examples from team members in 2007 when they were asked to write about what they had discovered about themselves: I think I’m stronger on the inside now and I can cope with unfairness You can be happy with very little I take too much for granted I’ve learnt that I don’t smile enough and they told me to look happy I’m quite strong inside and don’t appreciate what I have That I am a strong person I never thought I’d be able to introduce myself in front of so many people. But I have found I can do it! That we have so much and I should enjoy my life while I have it.
