perspectives





                                                                    Perspectives


      In this picture, two people are looking at the same thing from two distinct sides, or perspectives, claiming to be seeing two distinct numbers. One thinks he's looking at the number nine, while the other person thinks he is looking at the number six.  Each person thinks the other person is seeing something wrong, when in reality they both are right. The fact is that they just haven't seen the "shape" from the other person's perspective, and are stating what they are seeing just from looking at it from one side.

  This picture can be interpreted in a deeper meaning of this is that just because you think you are right, does not mean the other person is wrong, you just did not look at it from the other possible perspective, that is the other person's side. The same thing goes for the other picture where someones sees 4 blocks where the other person sees 3 from the other perspective.

     A perspective in general is how you view something, so it really matters on where you're viewing the object. Usually people look at something in the easier way or mostly the negative way for example, if a dad had to live in another country from where his family is living he would probably think about how he's a failure and how he didn't manage to succeed in his life with his happy family. But if he thought positively he would think yes I  failed on making my family happy but I am living here now by myself to provide them with the best money I have by doing strenuous efforts everyday.


   You can either have positive perspective on something or a negative perspective where you can live your whole life thinking about and reminding yourself everyday about that idea or perspective. If I had that choice I would probably choose the positive perspective because I did a lot of good things in life and won't let my way of seeing something bother me with my future.

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

  The Danger of a Single Story       This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities.      Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story  isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

The Surprising Science of Happiness | Dan Gilbert

  "Turns out that freedom, the ability to make up and change your mind, is the friend of natural happiness"      Dan Gilbert talks about happiness as it comes with making choices. Making choices doesn't literally mean having to choose, but he explains it in a way that is interpreted by having to live on with something that was manipulated and chosen for you, or something that you were able to contemplate whether or not you want it. He later on speaks about an experiment that was done on Harvard photography students. Some of these students were given the choice to take home one of their photographs and not look back at the other one. Whereas the other half, were given a reversible option in which they had the option to go back and change which one they can go home with.      In my opinion, that actually does make sense. In a way, that is why some people are indecisive and find making any decision extremely hard since they always find a possibility of ha...
