Imagine this, a half glass of water,
The CEO of company pointing at it and describe it as a half glass of water and he demanded his employees to raise their hand up if they agree.
9 people out of 10 raising their hand without spending some time on thinking.
Everyone stares at the only one who's not following.
Him,
Head-bowed, looking all anxious and uncertain before he finally raise his trembling hand up, slowly.
And i bet you will agree with everyone that we are all seeing it as a half glass of water, too. And even if you're not seeing it the same as the rest, you start to doubt if you're right when the majority thinks in the same way.
The CEO then pauses for a moment, and ask again,
"what else could you think of other than the half amount of water in the glass?"
"Maybe, the top half filled with oxygen instead of focusing on the water?"
"What if i'm asking if the glass is full, or half full?"
"I see it this way, 50% filled with oxygen when the other 50% filled with water, so technically, the glass is full."
3 meanings on the same image from different point of view.
It's not about right or wrong answer, same principle in life, there's always a different perspective on the same thing and it always not as same as we first seen. There will be multiple views and perspectives on thing that's happening everyday, but one disappointing fact is that people tend to judge too quickly or just follow before they even think twice. We switch off our own mind and follow everything blindly, to believe blindly, and to act blindly without listening to our own thoughts and logically interpret the situation before we reach a conclusion.
Another example :
You don't know that celebrity in person and when haters start bashing her, humiliating and defaming her with some stories you can neither confirm nor deny, what would you do?
Before you start disliking this person that you haven't met in person, try putting a different perspective on it.
Put it this way, it might be someone being so jealous about her and make up a story to damage her reputation. There's a lot of fake account abusers, liars, cheaters and definitely haters that's good in manipulating people's mind all over the internet.
But, we all know most of them will just blindly join in to comment and start criticizing people when they don't even know her enough to judge.
Sometimes in life,
What you're witnessing might not be completely real, you might not realize, there will be many perspectives on that particular incident that's going on. Everyone sees thing differently in their own way, but some of them just choose to follow blindly of what being said and start making one side judgement.
I thought it for sure that if this continues we will soon find ourselves losing the ability to think logically, to follow our heart and will, to interpret things differently, and we will not recognize who we are and our own strength anymore because of the behavior this society has caused us to become.
Don't just follow, take your own step and choose your own path but first, you need to unchain your brain and listen to your thoughts, believe your own capability to make something happen. Because, there's nothing right and wrong it just that different perspective creates a different path to somewhere you will eventually find yourself belong to.
" I will encourage you not to just make a living like everyone else does, but to live to make your dream comes true, believe in yourself, your judgement, your belief, and your capability."
Adding some own words into this existing statement made by my favorite person, Wesley Chan.
Lastly,
Don't see things as they are, but to see things as we are.
