The theory of perception becomes the process of using the senses to acquire information about the surrounding environment or situation that is apt to change at varying levels in each individual. Achieving mutual perception is a wise and a thought provoking method of conveying artful communication—and art is of course, in beauty is in the eye of the beholder or audience.
Currently, completing the final stages of a first publication it was imperative to find the appropriate voice and tone that would transmit truest intention of the journey of the manuscript. The intention is for the author and reader is to have a common relationship of ‘give and take’. Within the first few lines the voice of the printed words gained rhythm and flowed as the text began to take shape just as a stream of water gathers space and momentum in the sand—it formed a silhouette of its own.
Although this piece is based on scripture it offers practical guidelines as an invitation to gain wisdom from the truest form which is the book of Proverbs. Proverbs has an intentional purpose of living a changed life from a useful perceptive of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. With momentum in place, the read is careful to use spiritual truth to illuminate the traveler of literature to new heights of self awareness for themselves to cause a pleasing accomplishment of self discovery.

Friendships are tricky...
Friendships are tricky just as any relationship goes; it has its ups and downs that can jar our emotions if we let it. The popular sitcom ‘Friends’ become extremely indicative of situations comedy that portrays various incidents that occur within comradeships. Not all friends and friendship are ideal to say the least. We waiver in and out of these relationships depending on the need that is being fulfilled or not, and this requires work and commitment...any thoughts?

Global Research and the Collaboration
Here's news from MIT...
"Collective efforts lift us all to the starry heights by Charles Vest President Vest was recently asked to write an opinion piece for the first-ever "world university rankings" issue of the Times (UK) Higher Education Supplement.
The focus of the piece was on how higher education is likely to evolve, on a global level, in the future. MIT was ranked third in the survey, out of 200 universities around the world, behind Harvard and Berkeley.
Collective efforts lift us all to the starry heightsEveryone everywhere gains by combining competition with collaboration in higher education, argues Charles Vest.
In its new ranking of the world's 200 best universities, The Times Higher found the top three to be US institutions - Harvard University, the University of California, Berkeley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There are good reasons why US universities fare well in competitive rankings, and other nations could profitably consider the structural and policy factors that help them achieve such heights.
But collaboration may be even more profoundly important than competition in determining the future of higher education. Indeed, informal global cooperation is already beginning to create the meta-university that will see the best scholarship and teaching shared worldwide.
The factors I believe contribute the most to the excellence and competitive success of US higher education include:
The diversity of institutions - from small liberal arts colleges to large public and private universities - allows students to select the school that best matches their needs New assistant professors have freedom to choose what they teach as well as research Our research universities weave together teaching and research in ways that bring freshness, intensity and renewal to both activities We welcome students, scholars and faculty from abroad. Their intellectual and cultural richness help define our institutions Support of frontier research in our universities has long been an important responsibility of the federal government, which awards grants to researchers on the basis of their merit in a competitive marketplace of ideas A tradition of philanthropy, fostered by US tax law, encourages alumni and others to support our colleges and universities. Scholarship funds they provide allow talented students from families of modest means to attend even the most costly schools Open competition for faculty and students drives excellence"

what about social networking, do you have concerns?
Thought's on social networking and your opinion? A social network is a social structure made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as values, visions, idea, financial exchange, friends, kinship, dislike, conflict, trade, web links, sexual relations, disease transmission (epidemiology), or airline routes. The resulting structures are often very complex.
Social network analysis views social relationships in terms of nodes and ties. Nodes are the individual actors within the networks, and ties are the relationships between the actors. There can be many kinds of ties between the nodes. Research in a number of academic fields has shown that social networks operate on many levels, from families up to the level of nations, and play a critical role in determining the way problems are solved, organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals succeed in achieving their goals.
In its simplest form, a social network is a map of all of the relevant ties between the nodes being studied. The network can also be used to determine the social capital of individual actors. These concepts are often displayed in a social network diagram, where nodes are the points and ties are the lines.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network

What is a women's perceptive?
So, what's a women's perceptive? According to Why Women Are More Perceptive The Definitive Book of Body Language by Barbara Pease, Allan Pease, "Overall, women are far more perceptive than men, and this has given rise to what is commonly referred to as "women's intuition." Women have an innate ability to pick up and decipher nonverbal signals, as well as having an accurate eye for small details. This is why few husbands can lie to their wives and get away with it and why, conversely, most women can pull the wool over a man's eyes without his realizing it.
Research by psychologists at Harvard University showed how women are far more alert to body language than men. They showed short films, with the sound turned off, of a man and woman communicating, and the participants were asked to decode what was happening by reading the couple's expressions. The research showed that women read the situation accurately 87 percent of the time, while the men scored only 42 percent accuracy. Men in "nurturing" occupations, such as artistic types, acting, and nursing, did nearly as well as the women; gay men also scored well. Female intuition is particularly evident in women who have raised children. For the first few years, the mother relies almost solely on the nonverbal channel to communicate with the child and this is why women are often more perceptive negotiators than men, because they practice reading signals early." Any thoughts?
