Do we see what others see. ? ? ?
It's quite common to hear people make comments about others, some good and some "not so good?"I want to talk about those GOOD things they say.
How often do these very same people, who see the good in others, actually see the same qualities in themselves???
How many poeple are there, out there who do not see themselves in the same light as others do. People who fail to recognize just how wonderful or talented or kind or cheerful or considerate or friendly they are. People who see and identify attractive qualities in others but are blind to their own.
Can we make a difference to how people perceive themselves, by the way we respond to them?
Is it possible to boost some-ones self-image, by bringing their good qualities to their attention?
Is it possible to change someones life by becoming more aware of them?
Is it worth the effort to try?

The"enemies" in life, certainly have an important role to play. Firstly, the keep us humble
Good blog
I gotta work now
See you around
Coffee I noticed that in our "enemies"' comments there can be some grain of truth about us. Yes twisted but some kind of truth, the way they have perceived it. So all these people can give some "3D" image of us. But, who knows how objective it will be? Should be combined with our own image of ourselves... so we hope we get close to the truth about ourselves :)
I see the moon upside down from where I`m right now... Strange!

Not dizzyness?
make someone believe in themselfs if and when they dont??? then no i dont think you can with words but there again im not saying its impossable, you can only bring out what is within but how can you bring out something thats not there??? i have to say yes to your last question, everyone is worth the effort, personally myself i find it very hard to give up on someone.. one of my flaws to be honest
Unfortunately, I've met and still meet some people who always like to see a bad thing in one person such as "I know he won't make it" and I guess it's not a good thing to say.
Something positive is always a good thing to say. Besides, it's a good reflection of ourself. You just give hope to someone with just that simple effort {smile}

The only people who matter to me in life are those who I love and care for and who love and care for me.No one else matters.
When I was younger I never really had any self esteem and what little I had depended on the people around me,who now that I look back did not have my best interest at heart.They were not true friends and when bad times came calling they all ran.Those that stuck around were very few and proved themselves to be true friends.
In a way those bad times were a bit of a blessing.They helped me change the person I was to who I am today.I no longer care for popularity and the trivial and shallow things in life.I feel now as if my eyes were opened to what really matters in life and I couldn't believe how blind I had been before.
