Take a look into above picture. What do you see? An old woman? May be around 60 years or more? What if some one tells you the picture is of a young lady? You may not agree with him or her.
Take a look again. Pause for a while. How can the above picture be of a young lady? Take your time.
This picture is an example that two people can see same thing but think quite differently. This picture has been given in the Seven Habits as an example of ‘pardigm’ people have.
What is ‘paradigm’? It means: Model, theory, assumption or perception. It means the way we see the world in terms of our perception and understanding.
One of the habits of highly effective people is to understand others first before putting your point across.
Here is a very interesting power point presentation on 7 habits books. Happy reading. Appreciate your comments on your experience on the above.

Kindly see the picture from a distance. Consider the neck of lady as mouth of old lady and the chin of young lady as nose of the old lady.
Can you spot it now?
