    Default Self Perception: An interesting experiment

    This post might seem "off -topic" but I found it quite revealing and equally inspiring as well... so I just wanted to share to all.

    A forensic artist, without personally seeing the subject in question, draws portraits of women based on their own descriptions of themselves, then draws portraits of the same women based on descritions provided by someone they just met..... very interesting.

    That caught me by surprise. Nice!

    Having a mirror at home was the thing to have before, not anymore.

    What a really interesting video, We really are self-absorbed, where we should be grateful for the good things we have and enjoy sharing with other pople.

    Maybe we need to make some new One third of the way through Year's resolutions!

    Hi MorningSong
    What an eye opening video, it is so true, we never see ourselves as other people do.
    Thought someone describing me would really make me look bad, not so it seems. Wonderful.

    It really is interesting that most of us define ourselves by singling out our faults and others look at us finding our beauty. Really nice video...thanks for posting it.
