9. How perception affects the behaviour
Jake and Justin are two close friends. One day they got
introduced to a new woman who didn't treat them well and
who seemed to be arrogant according to their own
perception.
On their way Home they further reinforced the way they
perceived her by discussing the matter together. For the
next few weeks they both tried to avoid her as much they
could.
Few weeks later Justin got introduced to a new woman who
behaved the same way as the old one they knew earlier but
this time the woman apologized for her behaviour at the
end of the meeting and said that she had a real bad day
and that's why she couldn't smile.
Justin got encouraged by her words and asked her what does
she think of him and she replied telling him that he is a very
interesting person.
At this point he came up with a new theory! What if the
woman they met earlier had a bad day as well? What if the
problem was with his perception and not with the woman!
