– William Shakespeare, playwright
Our ability as humans to interpret the world around us is remarkable. Consider your thoughts about the following pairs of words:
- life – death
- win – lose
- big – small
- happy – sad
- right – wrong
- power – force
- full – empty
- leadership – management
- optimism – pessimism
- young – old
- growth – decline
- success – failure
- strong – weak
- natural – artificial
Exercise:
