About This Quote
There is a big difference between thinking and seeing. Thinking involves a lot of interpretation and deduction, while seeing involves no interpretation whatsoever. When you think, you work from the outside in, looking at things from the point of view of someone else. When you see, however, you look from the inside out, seeing things as they really are.
In other words, when you think, you see yourself as others see you. When you see, on the other hand, you see yourself as others see you. The best way to have a good life is to be a visionary – someone who sees life as it really is and therefore knows how to live it well.
