The Power of Observation

I like to observe. I especially like to check out people's living spaces. Because that is how I gather information about people. You'd be surprised by how much you can learn about a person by just looking at his/her room or wallet. I think I learn more about a person through observation rather than by talking with him/her.

I am not an analytical person. I don't always analyze things. Sometimes, I think the answer to "why does he/she do this?" is simply, "because that's how he/she is." with no need for further analysis. But I'm always observing. I look out for body language. I look out for lil quirks. I notice patterns. I'm not always observing, but I do do it often.

Basically, always keep your eyes and ears open. You'd be amazed at the things you can learn just from hearing and seeing.

Though, observation can also be wrong too because most of the time it leads to speculation. And we all know what assuming does...
