Perception

Perception can be defined as way of viewing, insight or intuition, ability to perceive. Perception in each and everybody differs, the way we see things that occur to us differ and the way we see things affect our mind state and actions.
Perception affects every aspect of our life, the way we see different events that occur in our lives affect the way we react to them and thus affects our standings in life.
Using failure as an example, some people would see failure as a challenge, as something that is a test of their plans, activities, a reason to re-plan and work harder, while some would see failure as a reason to leave, to stop, a determiner of the impossible and a confirmation of them not being able to accomplish.
The first would form a better plan and make adjustments to the mistakes committed earlier, while the latter would be bitter and would have to start all over again. The difference between them both is their perception, the way they accepted failure and this affected their next action and their nearest future.
Perception is an important factor that matters in our life, whenever anything happens or we feel anything lets think within ourselves, is what am thinking right? Am i to gain anything from my planned actions? What am i gonna lose? And what are the other ways i can go about the matter? Doing the above would safe-guard against being too over-reactive, acting out of other and adjusting ones thought to the right things.
