What do you see in this picture?

dot

So what do you see in this picture? “A black dot.” Or “A black circle” is the common answer from 99% of the people. But if you broaden your perspective and look around the entire picture, do you see something bigger than the black dot? Yes! The white space! The white space take up about 90% of the entire picture yet most of us see the black 10%. We have narrow our focus on the dot and we pay a lot more attention than the white space.

This actually applies in our daily life, we might be talking bad of someone and we hated that person. But looking broader, we might have neglected and overlooked the good deeds he or she had done. Most of the time, we are too quick to judge someone, either through impulse or heated moments. So take a step back and you may see more about that person.

Another good example is weather forecast. Weather forecast reports every single day and yet we did not praise them of their accurate forecasts and hard work they have put in behind the scenes. But when one day the weather forecast report was not accurate, we start to complain and whine about it.

There are many things that we have taken them for granted. We have overlooked a lot of details and neglected 90% of the things around it. But if we can think about it and appreciate the entire picture, our life will be so much interesting!

Start to “see more” today, and you will agree that  “ Life’s not too bad after all!”
