Perspective

Just read Mark Conner's blog in the today. He post an entry about Perspective. It interesting, and I got abit of revelation on it.

An understanding of perspective is one of the keys to gaining wisdom for life.

Imagine a group of people sitting around a table.

1) First, everyone see the table differently. It depends on where there are sitting. No one will see the table the way.

2)Secondly, no one sees the table accurately. There are parts of the table that each person does not see. No one person has the full perspective, no matter who they are.

3)Thirdly, the only way to get an accurate picture of the table is to combine everyone's perspective. We must listen to those who see differently from us to learn about what we cannot see.

Take the table out of the middle of the circle and replace it with anything else - an issue, a decision needing to be made, a problem, a conflict ... whatever. The lessons are still the same. We need other people's perspective to add to our own in order to gain wisdom for life.
