“W
hen you change the way you look at something, the thing you look at changes in response.” This is the uncertain principle mentioned in the Introduction of The Answer authored by John Assarf and Murray Smith
A lot of time when we look at something, we use our own value or perspective to make judgment before we really understand the reason behind why it happens. Thing that happens already happened, but the way we look at it make a lot of different in relation to how we are going to handle it after the incident.
Like the post I wrote here The meaning you Assigned. How you assigned your meaning to what happened will affect your feeling the whole day or even the whole week. At worse, your life time. Your feeling can indeed change instantly if you chose to. Just change the way you look at that thing or assign a different meaning to it..
What do you see in the above picture? A stream of water running through a mountain rock? Look carefully. Before the things changes in response, let me share a story from Dr. Steven Covey in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People about an incident happened in the Subway. A man walked into the subway train with two kids. The kids was running around and making lots of loud noises and disturbing all the passengers. The man just sitting there doing nothing about it and all the passengers were apparently very unpleasant and thinking whata n inconsiderate man he was. When Dr. Covey informed this man that his kids were disturbing all the passengers and the man replied, “Oh ya, my wife; these kids mother just die of cancer, I guess they do not know how to handle it, so am I. ” When the passengers heard that, they all changed the way they felt about this man and his kids, instead of anger as before his explianation, they felt sympathize with them.
What have changed? The kids still as noisy as before and the man had yet to stop them, but the perception from the passengers toward this man and his sons had changed; they look at this incident differently now after he explained what had happened. Like the principle mentioned in the beginning of this post “When you change the way you look at something, the thing you look at changes in response.” So the next time, before you make any judgment on something, just remember this Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle in physic.You will be surprised on how thing can change!
So what do you see in the picture above? Still see stream of water or few hoses stand by the stream. Interesting, there are some people just could not see the horses.
Starting today, learn to change the way your see things and see the thing changes in response. You may find Life is Full of Excitement!










































I’ve learned this from Adam Khoo’s concept of reframing. He said that there is no meaning in life unless we choose to give it.
A retrenchment could mean a negative thing to a lot of people but some people see it as an opportunity to venture into new business and do whatever they have always wanted to do.
A girl who is being left by a boyfriend simply means she can find a person who loves her even more. It’s difficult but it is also the meaning we choose to give it.
Flop sees failures as something they cannot do but successful people see failures as feedback.
Hope this helps.
