Let's think,
Is our Semester Holiday Bootcamp event a non-zero sum or zero-sum game? I am a mentor of this event and participants are my classmates.
If we do:
- I learn how to mentor a group of people and community management.
- I gain experience in public speaking.
- Participants learn something beneficial to their future careers.
- The MADES club shows activity.
- I give up my precious semester holiday time.
- Participants and I create a small network.
If we don't do:
- I enjoy the semester holiday.
- I can give attention to my other projects.
- I can relieve stress.
- Participants do not learn anything.
Note: Consider that we have a very large scale competition in the job market, but there are plenty of jobs that exist and participants will not overtake me professionally in a short-term bootcamp like this one.
Conclusion
If we do the event: I might experience burnout, but if that doesn't happen, I gain experience and participants learn something. It is a total win-win (except the burnout situation).
If we don't do the event: I can relieve some stress, but I won't gain any experience. Participants are neutral. It is neutral for participants and positive for me.
As we can see, in both situations no one loses, so it is a non-zero sum game. The pie is not fixed; we can make it bigger.
