'The way you get to know yourself is by the expressions on other people's faces, because that's the only thing that you can see, unless you carry a mirror about.'~ Gil Scott-Heron
Having discovered Gil Scott-Heron's great poem, 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised', I thought it would be good to look at a few more gems of his wisdom. The above quote is a very clear directive and pretty obvious, but how many times are we so consumed by our thoughts and words that we fail to read other people's facial expressions?
Sometimes people can chat away whilst the listener is bored stiff and probably thinking about something completely different! If you want to know what people are thinking you need to observe their facial expressions and body language and through this you will discover far more about yourself.
