The Real Power


Did you see it? Did you look closely enough to notice the woman at the top has too many fingers on her left hand?  And the guy in the middle shot has some spooky random hand on his shoulder?  And the guy in the bottom picture has only one ear?

No - prob'ly you didn't notice any of that at all - just like I didn't.  Simple and silly little exercise, but it points up a great lesson.  We're generally good people, so we tend to trust, which makes us pliable.  We'll focus on what we're told to focus on.  And so we can be manipulated.  Concentrate on what's important, not just what somebody tells you is urgent.
