Question:

Multiple choice question

Scroll down to see the picture below. Do you see dots between the small squares? Notice that if you look at any one of the dots for a long time, it disappears. Why? Our brain perceives dots between the squares in the picture although the dots are not really there. Focusing on only one dot helps us see that there are no dots. What does this tell you about the difference between perception and reality?

Read this paragraph and answer the question below.

Focusing on one dot makes the dots "disappear", so focusing on how other people perceive us can make their perceptions disappear.

Because perceptions are not always accurate, we should not allow others' perceptions of us to affect our lives.

Just as we perceive dots that are not really there, other people's perceptions of us may not be accurate.

The Power of Perceptions

 

What other people say about us often acts as a mirror for how we see ourselves. However, people's perceptions do not always accurately reflect reality. So instead of allowing other people's perceptions to shape the way we see ourselves, we should always remember this: We cannot control how others perceive us - but we can control how much we allow other people's perceptions of us to affect our lives.

What is the connection between the picture below and the main message of the paragraph? Choose 2 correct answers.
