“People Generally See What They Look For, And Hear What They Listen For.” – Harper Lee
People do want to see the good and not the bad. We also want to hear good things and not the bad ones. The bad that are presented to us are never visible to us when we focus on what we know are the right things. When told something we fail to hear it, whether good or bad. Having ears and eyes for what you believe are good for you will make you succeed. But sometimes it is not good to stick to our opinions too much because they may be wrong.
