Perception vs. Reality...
This morning a colleague uttered these words...
"Perception is reality."
For the record, perception is an individuals interpretation of reality. If perception was really reality, it would be called reality and not perception.
For some of you, this may seem like a rather insignificant statement, but oddly enough, I have heard this before. I have actually heard this several times and always by people who work diligintly on making others think they are productive instead of actually being productive. Interesting.
So, if I may continue to vent. I would like to declare to all of the world, one blog reader at a time, instead of assuming that your perception is my reality, may I suggest that you take the time to become informed.
Speak little and listen much for your journey of knowledge is far from over. You may be able to mentor and to teach those who have followed behind you, but unless you are sucking in your final breath, there are those who have traveled before you and you would do yourself well to listen to the tales that they have to tell. There is knowledge, wisdom and laughter in the stories of those who have gone before you and if you truly desire wealth, success or freedom, you will not speak, you will listen.
Now, I have to go and listen for there is much I have to learn. If I hear anything good, I promise to pass it on.
