Perception is Reality

Communcation is the most important field of work and  life, and other people's perceptions can dramatically shape our self concept and self esteem. It can also make or break a career. Whether what people say is right or wrong about you, it can still change your life because you get really worried about what people say and think about you.
In growing up, especially as an adolescent, what others say about us, or our perception of what they think based on the reactions of others, tends to act as a mirror for how we see ourselves. Also i hae found out that as we keep growing, we find that being true to ourselves is necessary when it comes to being able to actualize our potential and that we cannot control how others perceive us. We can only control our actions. Even when we get older we will still care about what people think or say about us, and how we feel about our attractiveness or self worth is still very much governed by what others say about us. A lot of young people fall in this trap, and they start to make themselves look better than how they feel. Also, when someone makes other people believe that they are something that they really aren't, the person ends up getting hurt because they change a lot.
