“Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective.  But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are—or, as we are conditioned to see it. When other people disagree with us, we immediately think something is wrong with them. But, sincere, clearheaded people see things differently, each looking through the unique lens of experience.”---Stephen R. Covey; The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, p. 28
