“Look deeply, look broadly, look far…” – an old proverb affirms the importance of observation in life. But how to learn to observe effectively, so that each time we look, we gain valuable knowledge and experience?
Observation: Windows to the Soul
Have you ever heard the story of astronomer Galileo Galilei and the discovery of Jupiter’s moons? He observed the night sky every night, persistently searching for hidden mysteries. Thanks to meticulous observation, he discovered four satellites orbiting Jupiter, a great discovery that changed humanity’s view of the universe.
5 Steps to Enhance Your Observation Skills
To learn how to observe effectively, we need to cultivate 5 basic skills:
1. Focus Your Attention:
Concentrate on the object you want to observe. Eliminate distractions such as noise, phones, or worries. Listen to birds singing, smell the fragrance of flowers, or focus on small details in a painting.
2. Practice Seeing Differences:
Try observing a familiar object like a glass of water, a tree, or a road you travel every day. Do you notice changes, hidden uniqueness in them?
3. Observe With All Your Senses:
Combine sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch to gather information comprehensively. For example, when observing a dish, look at the color, shape, smell the aroma, hear the sizzling of oil, taste the flavor, and touch its heat and softness.
4. Record and Analyze:
Write down what you observe, the details, your feelings, and thoughts. Then, analyze this information, look for connections, logic, and hidden meanings behind it.
5. Cultivate Patience:
Observation is a process that requires patience. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t gather useful information immediately. Be persistent, practice daily, and you will see your observation skills improve day by day.
Observation and Knowledge
“The ancients had a saying: ‘Tam tỉnh nhất dạ’ – meaning every night, before going to sleep, one should question oneself three things: ‘What good deeds did I do today?’, ‘What new things did I learn today?’, ‘Whom did I help today?'” (Prof. Dr. Nguyen Lan Dung, author of the book “Culture of Conduct”)
By observing ourselves, reflecting on our actions, we can draw lessons, correct mistakes, and improve ourselves every day.
Observation and Success
Observation not only helps us understand more about the world around us, but it is also the key to success in work and life. Successful business people are always those who observe the market, grasp trends, and seek new opportunities. Talented artists are all keen observers, capturing emotions and small details to create unique works of art.
