Image, Perceptions and Reality



We live in a society governed by physical appearance, perceptions, image, success, failures, power, etc... What we really are is not always what other people think about us.

Some people are good at projecting a very positive image of themselves but which does not necessarily reflect what they are in reality while others fail to project a proper image of themselves because their talks, behaviour and actions are perhaps not in harmony with their values and thoughts.

The question is what kind of image would you like to project in the society you live in ?

Do you want people to perceive you as what you really are with all your qualities and your weakness ? Or do you want to project another image of yourself : an image which either values your strengths and masks your weakness or an image which highlights your limits but undervalues your qualities ?

I think it depends on your values, your self-esteem, your life ambitions etc...

The choice is yours...
