Sad puppy eyes


Frida.

This photo, entitled "Frida", by Marina reminds me of how many ways there are to interpret a certain "look". What emotion do you see here? Is "Frida" tired, uncertain, sad, feeling lost, watchful, or what?

"The Power of Procovery" reminds us on page 177:

"Don't mind-read Don't assume you know what the other person is feeling or what he or she really means."

Fortunately, with a person, we can "check it out" by asking questions, listening more attentively, or summarizing to see if we got it "right".
