13. Think of looking for something that‟s right in front of you. As you look around,
you often see what you expect to see, but can miss the thing that‟s right in
front of your eyes. How many times have you looked for keys or something
similar. You may look in the same place many times and not see them. However,
when you truly see, they suddenly appear for you.
