Perception

It is difficult to define something in this world as every single person will have different opinion or a different angel to it. We have all heard about the story of glass half full or half empty. Is it really a different outlook or is it just two sides of one coin? As kids we are taught definitions for every single word, explained logic behind theories and proven with methodical experiments but do we use any of that in our lives. Do we actually remember those definitions while communicating with our friends, or think about law of physics when driving on an icy road or use the experiments of chemistry while cooking. But while we were gaining the knowledge, we started understanding the world in our way. We formed our own opinions about everything around us. We created our own world of Perception which could be right or wrong.  Perception has two definitions: • the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses -This can be different for each individual as a person's ability and capability would not be he same. Like the basic knowledge of human body and how it functions.  • the way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted. - This can be generalized based on the affects of environment on a person. Asians are good cooks is a perception of people in west.  Till yesterday i had strong belief that a persons perception cannot be changed but Today somebody changed the way i see towards life and that made me realize that Perceptions can be changed. It could be the best way to find solutions to your problems.  Is the earth in between clouds or are the clouds covering the earth, what is your perception?
