observation....one science book defines observation as a process of using your five senses....
i love observing people....whenever i am in a coffee shop i make it a point to look at other coffee drinkers...i observe how they sip their coffee....how they stir their coffee afte putting sugar....if they will add sugar first or cream...i observe how they react when their dates come late...i observe how they greet friends who arrive later than them...i try to see how they call waiters...do they just wave their hands or do they call them out loud...i try to see who looks at name plates of servers and call them by their names...i try to find out who smiles or says thank you when their coffee is served...i try to see who leaves tip....
by observing i learn a lot of things...i learn how certain actions are received by others...i learn why people react like this or that...i learn what makes other peple smile...i learn what makes others raise their eyebrows...
i observe these things not to invade their privacy....i observe because i want to improve my own behavior...i know i already my own set of values....values that have been inculcated by my parents....my teachers....my friends....some i learned from books.....but even then, i believe it is still important for us to continue to learn new things so we can adapt....so we can improve...i don't know about but i really enjoy watching other people's behavior.....
oh...i forgot...i also like looking at others because a lot of times they make me laugh...no, i just do this in secret....
i'm not making sense....i know....anyway, i would love to see how you would react when you read this...hmmm.....if only i could....wink
