The Open Mind

One of my drive induced thoughts while listening to a song. There was a line, "you don't see what I see." It kinda hit home with me after talking with my brother about business strategy. He has a different perspective than I do. None of us is right nor wrong.

Let me give an example of how somebody or many people may not see exactly the same as the next person.

I want to use a baseball card as an example. Any baseball card will do, but I will be more specific and say a 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle card.

Person 1. may see it as just a Mickey Mantle card.
Person 2. may see it as a worthless piece of cardboard.
Person 3. may see it as a perfect gift for grampa.
Person 4. may see it as a great addition to his personal coll.
Person 5. may see it as a great future investment.
Person 6. may see it as a potential profit.
Person 7. may see it as a huge profit.
Person 8. may see it as something to start a fire with.
Person 9. may see it as garbage or junk. lol

The point here is, none of these 9 people are wrong but it shows how the same object can be perceived in different ways. Therefore, there are times we might be looking at the same thing, but it existence can be different depending on who is interpreting its being. It ties into the line, "you don't see what I see."

Okay....who gives a crap....right?laugh

Well, it might be important for us people who are looking to add somebody into our lives to know how that potential partner perceives the world. A person's perception has a correlation with who they become. The more open your mind is, the wider the scope of perception you have.

My 2 pennies....again, just some thought. :)

I have some stuff to do and should be on later on to makes some comments. Enjoy your weekend folks.

Hello Calli,

I agree. Thanks for your comment. wave
Some have closed minds and you can not get through them, yawn
Thats an interesting point of view Jonny.
One can not predict where someone is going without knowing where they have already been. So maybe instead of learning how they perceive us or the world, we should instead learn about the things they have done or accomplished. Only then should we look into their future plans.
Good blog, Johnny.

I sent this to my special someone.
