13. Time to ask yourself…
Why most of us do not think about going out of the
boundaries?
We had to draw the lines outside the boundaries.
This is what is required of us when we interact with
others as every thinks differently (outside of our
boundaries or " box" ).
Why is it so hard to others' point of views?
We often so busy thinking about our point of view,
that we fail to see others' point of views.

15. This is an example of how we sometimes see things that
are not really there.
And that’s how we tend to conclude the wrong first
impression of someone by looking at the physical
attributes.
