Always believed that Perceptions can be change many views...often from what actually happened to you think happened. Some examples to get the message along....
(1) At work, there was this chap that was perceived by many leaders as a rebel, someone who didn't follow the rules, didn't conform cos he always questioned the normal way of doing things.....in other words, he reminded me of me :) I was informed that I need to be wary of him & not expect much from him cos he's just a trouble-maker....I remembered myself & decided to give him a chance & now he's one of the shining stars....
(2) At home, just had a minor crisis involving my gm & the maid....maid's been trying her best to take care of her by cooking her healthy food....old lady thinks she's being mean cos she doesn't want to cook her what she wants....had to resolve the mini war that came out of that perception.....
(3) someone close to me believed that I was out to get her & her $. That meant that everything I did & didn't do was perceived as furthering that perception e.g. if I visited her, that's because I wanted to get closer to her & if I didn't visit, I was being difficult & didn't appreciate her for her being there for me. She thought of me being hard-up when I pursued my hobby & gained some experience selling them. I didn't know all of that until much later & boy was I disappointed at all that fuss for $. Gives a new perception to the whole new reason why $ isn't all it's cut out to be. It actually gave me a whole new way of viewing the commodity -
- definitely not one that can't be brought to where one goes after life
- not one that helps mend bridges
- complicates when it becomes the focus of relationships
