The Cockroach Theory: Respond, Not React

The Cockroach Theory For Self Development* 
"At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.
She started screaming out of fear.
With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.
Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.
The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group.
Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.
The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.
The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.
When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?
If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?

Content Theory

While we were visiting the countryside for a study-tour, I,  a teacher, got different content as answers when I individually inquired "What's the content that you see here?" to each one of my four brightest students.
Photo Prompt - Magpie Tales

Student 1: "I see a superb scenic spot to sit and paint masterpieces, take photographs, and write poetry or a book!"
