Our real problem, then, is not our strength today;

it is rather the vital necessity of action today

to ensure our strength tomorrow.

: 0 )  Dwight D. Eisenhower

Time after time we have heard that perception is everything, yet we ignore the reality of that statement in our own life.

Every morning do we awake with the perception that this day does not sap our energy away, our thoughts and actions do.

The reality is that we control how our day is perceived.  Not the qualities of the day.

People have overcome obstacles by their thoughts and actions in any weather, in any culture.  They have done so with wealth and in poverty.  They have made their day the way it should be with attitude and perception that they are in control not the outside factors.

So inner strength is attitude, belief, perception that we will achieve greatness.  We will overcome with perseverance.  We are created for a purpose to make a difference, to help, to share, to reach out to a world that keeps on thinking that other things not themselves dictate results.

Reach out and share a smile today. Watch the reflective powers come back to you in a split second.

Reach out and share a kind word.  A kind deed.

Reach out and make the magic unfold and understand that the magic is your perception and actions.

Law of Closure

Law of Similarity

Law of Proximity

• Law of Closure — The mind may experience elements it does not perceive through sensation, in order to complete a regular figure (that is, to increase regularity).
• Law of Similarity — The mind groups similar elements into collective entities or totalities. This similarity might depend on relationships of form, color, size, or brightness.
• Law of Proximity — Spatial or temporal proximity of elements may induce the mind to perceive a collective or totality.
• Law of Symmetry (Figure ground relationships)— Symmetrical images are perceived collectively, even in spite of distance.
• Law of Continuity — The mind continues visual, auditory, and kinetic patterns.
• Law of Common Fate — Elements with the same moving direction are perceived as a collective or unit.

Honesty Is the Best Policy  - Proof Research 

Tricks of a magician. To see the world that allows us, with eyes full of dreams, until we learn more about how we believe your eyes and look to see that blank look in his eyes. The search for truth is the ultimate tool to polish each lens of perception. See, in fact, the truth is we live in is the main reason, there is little chance that the mind is patient enough to do at home and strong enough to recognize in-one. identify 

Wisdom is not knowledge in reading with many years of accumulated books. Wisdom is a life experience knowings extract lived a long time.

The experience is a landscape view. A landscape of dreams, beliefs and paradigms learned fact. While the mind can be satisfied with the surface, be sure to keep in mind the soul, the heart that lives there, what you see and beyond what is perceived. 

Life is the time to stop the presentation, where the eyes can see, and where the mind can not comprehend. Life is in hand, and while obviously part of it, just pushes denser version of what life is really like. 

It requires concentration, discipline and commitment within the eye of the beholder, given the power to open the road and that is ultimately the power of decisions and resolutions are given. It takes a complex deal between omniscience, feelings, thoughts and actions flow as a constant, which is a way of life to become the source of life that seems to align. 

Although difficult, is possible. Life lived, and when understood against attempts before brushing is walking toward you. It is, as expected, at least you and your life will collapse as the final report. Check out the obstacles and get to see the blessing. Look in the box and is the gift. Look beyond the obvious and is subtle. Searching the perception and find the truth. Find a guide you can move on. Finding a “Yoda” who have gone before you and there may be some wisdom to share with you walk with humility and gratitude.

Objective:

In present study an attempt has been made with the object to study the perception of teacher trainees of Uttar Pradesh (India) from various classes on the item “Whether sex education is required to avoid development of inferiority in the children.”

Methodology:

The teacher trainees in Uttar Predesh (India) were asked whether sex education is required to avoid development of inferiority in the children.” The sample size was 200 including 124 males and 76 females and 100 each of two systems of education viz. traditional and distance. The survey was conducted with the respondents of 23 districts out of 75. The age group of the respondents was 22 to 35 years. Chi square analysis was implemented to draw valid conclusions from the observations.

Findings:

Significant (p<0.01) majority of teacher trainees (69%) was perceived that sex education is required to avoid development of inferiority in the child with χ2= value equal to 19.92.

Female teacher trainees were also presented their significantly positive (p<0.01) view in this direction with a majority of 79% and χ2 value equal to 17.80, however, the majority of male teacher trainees was just 59% and remained non-significant (p>0.01) with χ2 value equal to 17.80.

Teacher trainees under traditional system of education were recorded to be non-significant (p>0.01) to present their positive view to provide sex education for avoiding development of inferiority of 63% χ2 value equal to 5.00, however, the majority of teacher trainees under distance system of education was remained significantly positive 75% with χ2 value equal to 14.92.

As far as the interaction between the two genders the teacher trainees i.e. male and female and two systems of education i.e. traditional and distance are concerned, highest support to the theory that sex education is required to avoid development of inferiority in the children was received from female teacher trainees under traditional system of education with a majority of 86% and χ2 value equal to 17.80, followed by those of females under distance education system with a majority of 72% and χ2 value equal to 4.84 and males under traditional system with a majority of 64% and χ2 value equal to 1.96,  Lowest support to the theory was given by the male teacher trainees under distance system of education with a majority of just 54% with χ2 value equal to 0.16.

Considering that psychology is defined as the scientific study of the human mind and its processes, some of the field’s attention is inevitably focused on the study of sensory perception. How we perceive the world around us, touch, taste, sight, smell, and hearing, more commonly known as the five senses; with ESP being the hotly contested sixth candidate.

It can easily be said that all we know, all we think we know, and the entire world as we know it is more or less the basis of our individualized sensory perception. For example, for someone who lacks all of his or hers cone reactor cells (those that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light) there would be no such thing as color besides the abstract concept constantly presented to them by the outside world. Their perception would not process color, thus color would not exist to them. A person, who has been deaf since birth, would not understand the concept of sound. In short, our entire perception of reality is based off of what we can gather from our senses. This could be considered unfortunate, considering that our only sense that cannot be taken away is far from the most useful.

On a physiological level, sensory perception is both extremely simple and unbelievably complex. Each sensory system has receptor nerves that respond to a certain stimuli and are only triggered at a certain level (the threshold). The triggering of these nerves relays information to the brain, which is processed as sensory information. An image, a taste, a sound, etc. This sounds simple enough, but how these nerve cells work exactly, how their work becomes the world around us, this is where the concept becomes much more complex. This is where someone can start asking questions like, “is anything real? Or is everything just a combination of various electrical impulses working in sequence?” And at that point, depending on your definition of “real,” nothing is really real. Our entire reality is based off of these electrical messages that relay throughout our body.

Considering that all sensation really is, is coded nervous (tranduced) signals being processed in the brain, one can argue that the “trip” experienced by a person when taking Hallucinogenic drugs is in fact reality. Schizophrenic hallucinations are reality. Major depressive hallucinations are reality. Anything we perceive, is in fact, reality. This makes the concept rather ambiguous, as it is quite apparent that humans are capable of being stimulated in a sensory fashion without any “real” stimulus, i.e. “hearing or seeing things.”

How can you claim that reality exists when we could all just as easily “be on drugs?” The whole concept of reality brings up a psychological and philosophical debate. How do we know we exist? Physiologically speaking, we have “proof” but on that same basis it can be easily disputed. When all perception really seems to be is electronic impulses. We can therefore, claim that our bodies are real and that our physiological processes are real, as they seemingly exist beyond our perception. Without them, we wouldn’t “have” that perception. But then again our perception of ourselves is only a perception in of itself. What we perceive about perception is only a perception when it comes down to it. Can we really prove that anything is real, or that our perception is valid? No. We can only assign patterns to the stimuli we receive and hope that the patterns are accurate.

According to wikiipedia, conformity is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours to what individuals perceive is normal of their society or social group. It also states that this influence occurs in small groups and society as a whole, and may result from subtle unconscious influences, or direct and overt social pressure.

Now we should all be able to agree that this type of behaviour is brought upon us from birth. This is a point where you have to be real with yourself and call it like it is. Begin to see that you were born either into a wealthy family or a poor family. Understand that when I say wealthy or poor I’m not nessarily speaking of finances. Being wealthy or poor is just a state of mind, which brings me to my point. When you are born and raised, you conform to your parents or guardian who raised you, state of mind.

• Their thougts become your thoughts
• Thier views become your views
• Thier beliefs become your beliefs
• Thier perception become your perception

But where did their perception come from???

I’m sure you already know it came form their parents, and so forth and so on. Now the question is who taught them to conform, and how can you choose not to conform to be happy?

Unfortunately, what most people don’t realize is that if you don’t have like the way your life is you have the choice to change it.

My whole thing is that quite often people have the wrong attitude towards life. I say that because if you are still blaming someone else for why your life is so messed up, then you are allowing someone else to control your life. Your thoughts are what powers you. DON’T make the mistake of allowing people and circumstances to control you. If you’re not satisfied with your life, change it!

However, if you are a person who does have a negative outlook on life, I truly understand how you feel. You could possibly feel as if the world is closing in on, depressed, and not in control of how your life is going. Maybe you’ve been praying, crying, and turning to the people around you for advice. Although, if the people around you have the same views as you about life, I’ve got some bad news. They will never be able to help you, because they don’t even know how to help themselves. No offense to anyone, but I’ve been there and can honestly testify to everything that I’m saying.

The reason that I am saying this is due to the fact that I want to see people change their negative perception and become happy. I used to have a negative view and outlook on my life, and it was my dad who helped me open my mind, become receptive to new ideas and question anything I didn’t understand. So, with this new approach I’ve changed my negative perception to a positive one. I’ve found true happiness and understand the real meaning of having abundance of riches.

I just wanted to share my insight to those who are like I used to be, in search of happiness. You don’t have to settle for a life of negativity or old ideas that keep you feeling trapped and stuck with no way out.

I encourage you to power your mind, and realize that their is no secret to becoming happy. Take control now and make the change that you desire to have today!

            Life is all about perceptions, and whenever you fail to see is not there for you. When you fail to perceive goodness or virtue in someone or something it cannot make you happy. You live what you feel, and you feel what you perceive, and, mind you, you perceive what you have in you. You see the world through your mind’s eye, through your very own filters. As the saying goes, you see in others what you have in you. If you perceive someone to be bad can you really have positive thoughts about him? Or, if you perceive everyone to be bad can you be good yourself? Be honest, you cannot deceive yourself, you know. There are a lot of nice things and nice people in this world, make sure you find them. If you look for positive things in life you will find them. And if you do not find them, stop and see what the matter is.

            We live what we think and feel, and we feel what we interpret and perceive. If we fail to see the beauty of a beautiful garden or the care of a caring spouse then these qualities can have no meaning for us. What we do not see is as good as not being there for u at all. We  may have all that life can offer but if we do not recognise or acknowledge it, it becomes non-existent for us.

            All of us perceive any given situation in our way and it has a very different and individual impact on us. No two individuals assign identical meaning to any event. We perceive everything through our very own filters that are a by-product of our learning experiences in our infancy and early childhood. If we have grown up amongst people who were violent, hostile and quarrelsome,then we are likely to interpret this world and people around us also be hostile and bad. We may feel threatened by everyone and feel the need to fight back. While, on the other hand,if we were fortunate to have been brought up by the people who were loving, caring and understanding, in a situation like this we are likely to feel comfortable with people and are also likely to find this world a beautiful place to live in.

The fact behind such dialogs is in our cores – we both are not doing enough for sustenance of mutual trusts, though we both wish to trust each other. It is often said that trust begets trust, but the bitter fact of life is that mistrust begets mistrust. Indeed, we both have traces of mistrust for each other, this makes both of us not to care for sustenance of the trust of the other. This keeps our relationship switched on and off so often.

The first and foremost condition of trust is its mutuality – both need to take care of it with equal zest and care. A little drift or doubt on one side spurs an equivalent reaction on the other side. Second important thing about trust is that it either full or null. Even a trace of doubt is good enough to nullify the will to trust.

When two persons make up their minds to trust each other, none of them must leave it to the other to keep on trusting, but each one must work consciously to sustain trust of the other. This I call providing conducive support to the other for maintaining the trust.

Another important issue about trust is that it matters little how you perceive your own conduct. Instead, it matters a lot how one’s conduct is perceived by the other. I put the same equation in other words to underline it – it is not enough for any one to be fair with the other by his/her own parameters but it is more important how fair his conduct is perceived by the other through parameters of the other person. Thus in matter of trust, one’s own perception gets less value as compared to perception of the other. Therefore, friends, don’t be just fair, but display fairness to the other to make him/her trust you.

The conclusion of the arguments here is simple, since trust is thing of mutuality, you need to understand parameters of the other partner of trust and comply with them to earn his.her trust, keeping your own parameter aside.
