PART B_2

Have you ever wondered how people’s perception change? Imagine that there are two lines in front of you. Those lines have the same length and they are connected by an arrow-like shape. The left line has an opposite arrow, so it looks shorter compared to the other line. The way people perceive an image may change dramatically even with a very slight change. Same goes with their perception of situations, problems, and the likes.

Let us go back to the two lines mentioned above. It was said in the first paragraph that the two have the same length although the left one looks shorter. How would you know that these two lines have the same length? The answer is by using a ruler to know its correct length. It goes the same way with our perceptions. If we change our conventional thinking patterns, the way we see situations and problems will also change.

Nowadays, most people base their judgments on assumptions. People must learn how to challenge their assumptions as they are not a hundred percent correct. When deciding or solving a problem, people are supposed to look for facts to prove their assumptions.
