You See, but You Don't Observe
- Sherlock Holmes
Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Evening to my lovely read cash buddies all across the world. The weekend's over, and now we're starting over. I failed to publish an article yesterday because I decided to rest myself from writing articles and spent the rest of my Sunday as a rest day for me. I only read a few articles yesterday and visited both platforms but didn’t stay long. Well, now it’s Monday, and Monday’s the most hated day for some, and it's the most favourite day of the week for others too. Now get your arse up and let's start hustling.
What type of learner are you? Are you a visual, kinesthetic, or auditory learner? We have different skills when it comes to learning, we use different strategies depending on what makes us comfortable. Some may not be good at listening but are very good at visual learning, where they can easily get what it means just by looking at it. But can we apply that in our every day lives? Some may, and some may not.
You see, but you don't observe.
We see things in our everyday lives, but sometimes we forget to observe and know what they are. Just like when we see an opportunity knocking on our door. We are sometimes blinded by the thought of an opportunity and decide to seize it right away. We then took the chance without even knowing what it was. Not all opportunities bring good to you, some may lead to the opposite side of it. We are so eager to achieve what we dreamt of to the point that we’ll dig into whatever food serves in a platter without even knowing what that food is, whether it’s edible or not.
There are lots of people who ended in the opposite of what they dreamt of. It’s because they failed to observe everything around them. What I mean is that they only saw a certain thing as an opportunity without even observing what it was and didn’t even bother to find out what that opportunity was. For instance, an opportunity to work abroad might seem like a good idea, but little did we know that you might end up working in an illegal job abroad that might ruin your life.
Some of us only see what's on the outside and won’t even bother to know what's on the inside. Just like when we get hit by cupid's arrow and fall in love with a person. But cupid’s arrow isn’t always right. Sometimes we call it destiny, but it isn’t. Some people fall in love easily just by looking at them. Some may call it "love at first sight." Well, maybe it’s true and it works for others, but it doesn’t work all the time for someone. People may see someone attractive and beautiful and say that they’re in love.
I overheard this conversation between my sister and mom (Yeah, marites din ako). My sister’s friend was being abused by her husband. Physical, mental, and emotional abuse. Her friend’s husband was really an attractive guy, and I'm not gonna lie, he’s truly handsome. He was once a good loving boyfriend, but when they finally got married, everything about his husband had changed and he started hitting her physically, getting worse when he had the intent to kill her.
When it comes to love, there are people who are easily blinded by their looks and won’t bother to know who the person really is. They only gave more focus on the physical appearance and did not observe the other person’s true color. That is why most people end up in toxic and cruel relationships. Because they only see, but they do not observe the real intention of the person that they think they’re in love with.
We all see what's going on around us, but do we pay attention to it?

From an observant's perspective: oookay, these words won't slice me.
But this made me think about how many opportunities we missed and how many misjudgements we have made from just looking and not really understanding everything.
and to answer your question, I'm a visual learner for I prefer seeing, reading and writing what I'm studying.
