Open Your Eyes, Open Your Mind
法國小說家馬塞爾·普魯斯特在《追憶似水年華》中說過這樣一句話:
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
我們常說“we are what we eat”,但又何嘗不是“we are what we see”呢?無論是因為具體意義上的大腦、眼部和生理差異,還是受到抽象層面上的性格、視角和思維方式影響,一千個人眼中就有一千片樹葉,以及一千個哈姆雷特。要做到put yourself in others’ shoes,首先嘗試see the world through others’ eyes吧——春暖花開,雷聲轟隆,秋高氣爽,滴水成冰,你所看見的、理所當然的一切,很可能正是他人眼中的無價之寶呢!
The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.

If you can see it, you can have it.

The man doesn’t make the vision; the vision makes the man.

I would give all the wealth of the world, and all the deeds of all the heroes, for one true vision.
—Henry David Thoreau
