A Look Back



Every session of PPD brought its share of fun and knowledge to us. But back in 2 years how many of us could have imagined that the word “PPD” would influence us to this extent. So, this article is to have a look back in what we learned from PPD.

As I remember 2 years ago without a big hesitation I started to learn PPD. “Personal Progress Development” according to me was a useless subject those days. But after attending 2 or 3 sessions I started to love it. I tried to find the interest on it. I started to like this more than many other boring lectures we had. It did not take me much time to realize that developing inner skills is important as much as having academic skills to build my career. 

PPD was a great platform to develop my soft skills. Among the many things I learnt so far from PPD, it has taught us to,

  • how to perfectly manage our time
  • how to work as team
  • how to be a good leader
  • how to negotiate with others
  • how to manage thing in stressful times
  • how to take quick but correct decisions
  • how to achieve our targets in a short period
  • how to behave in corporate society
  • how to face an interview
  • how to write a good resume
  • how to present our skills in front of an audience 


This subject also taught me to be a better person, to build my personality and to build good social relationships. I have gained may things to my life through this subject. So finally, I like to thank all the lecturers and facilitators who shared their knowledge with us and gave us this great opportunity to build our selves.

“WHAT WE FEAR OF DOING MOST IS USUALLY WHAT WE MOST NEED TO DO.”  ~ RALPH WALDO EMERSON  ~ Furthermore, Fear is not your enemy. I t is a compass pointing you to the areas where you need to grow. When your mind begins to fear something, take note. We’re not talking about ridiculous fears. If a wild bear is staring you down, I wouldn’t recommend walking towards it. But the little things that you fear daily, often dealing with money, weight loss, etc.. are incredibly important to learn how to deal with head on. I challenge you to think of this quote each time you fear something for the next week. Start to believe that your inner fears are simply a compass showing you the way to a better life and see where it takes you. Personal Progress Development   helps us to get rid of  these fears and to be stronger. Why Personal Progress Development important to us? Landing a job requires a lot more than just the right degree, experience or ser...

The Game Barter Puzzle

These activities are sometimes referred to as ‘lateral-thinking’ exercises, in which one or more people attempt to solve a seemingly insurmountable problem. Fun team building puzzles come in a wide variety of formats and may include purely cognitive problems or mysteries to solve, or physical challenges involving limited resources which are needed to complete the task. Generally passive in nature, many team-building puzzles offer valuable teachable moments which invite participants to apply their learning to everyday situations. How to play 👉👉🎮🎮 Break your team into groups of equal members. Give each team a distinctly different jigsaw puzzle of equal difficulty. Explain that they have a set amount of time to complete the puzzle as a group. Explain that some of the pieces in their puzzle belong to the other puzzles in the room. The goal is to complete their puzzle before the other groups, and that they must come up with their own method of convincing the othe...

In the morning we were leaving to visit Sri Lanka Institute of hotel management . We said to our university friends that we are going to eat. By the way, we didn't get this thing very seriously. But after starting the session we could have understood the importance of this session and after finishing the session we got a confidence to handle a fork, knife, and a spoon.   The Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism & Hotel Management (SLITHM) is the only Government approved premier Institute in Sri Lanka, which was established by the Government in 1964 to train young men and women in the complex field of Hospitality and Travel Industry.
