Perceptions

Every person has a different perception about a person. This is because they find something different in a person when they talk to him/her. Perceptions cannot be made by just talking to a person. A person can be phony in words but it is difficult to be sham in actions. So according to me observation is the best way to judge a person and make any perception about him or her.

When you talk to a person, he/she always tries to prove you that he/she is the best person in every possible way. He/she always wants you to think something good about him or her. So talking to a person is always like getting a perception that is wanted by that person. But when you observe a person you get to know that person well. He/she cannot make you have a perception what he/she wants to portray.

Observing is difficult because you have to be patient. You cannot get a perception by just observing a person just for a day. Your mind should me calm. You should be a good listener than a speaker and a good observer than a listener. Observing always helps because a person cannot act the same all the time, but he/she can talk the same thing every time.

Observation also has two types. One is observation through your eye, the other one is observation through someone else’s eye. Observation through your eye means seeing things through your eyes without getting a perception about the person and trying to figure out the way he/she deals with things. Observation through someone else’s eye means observing a person after having a perception about him/her just because of listening to the person speaking about himself/herself or because of hearing about the person from someone else. This is not good because if you already have a perception about a person than you look at him/her keeping the old perception in mind. So you cannot get new things about him/her because there is already an image of that person somewhere deep in your mind. You should always forget the older perception about the person before observing him/her. I think that observing a person through your own eye is better than observing him/her through someone else’s eye.

Observing people is fun. Knowing people is the best thing, but knowing them to the core is better than best. So having perception is good but having a correct perception about a person after days of observation is even better. Perception without supportive reasons is no use, so always try to have perception about a person after having supportive reasons for it and supportive reasons come from deep observation.
