PROOF - Is that really your opinion?

This post is in support of my post, Is that really your opinion?
As I said before,
Our opinion is affected a lot by others' opinion
Have you heard about the masterpiece, Le Bateau (The Boat) by Matisse??
You know, it was hung upside-down for 2 months in the Museum of Modern Art, New York - none of the 116,000 visitors noticed until a small kid noticed it.
Check it out here;

Wierd, isn't it?
Everybody coming and going, praising it with so much awe.
Why didn't anybody noticed it?
Ans: Because it was called a masterpiece by the professionals and the museum. I guarantee nobody, not a single one of them understood what really the painting was about. But they said it's awesome because so many others were saying so.
Even if they noticed, they didn't dared to tell because they think people will say they don't have knowledge about arts.
So when someone asked you how was the painting and you said with a glow on your face, 'It was awesome. Really a Masterpiece!"
Was that really your opinion?
Think about it.

Is that really your opinion?

Related to my previous post about beauty, I got something more here.


Let's say;
Our opinion is affected a lot by others' opinion.


Assume a new movie has just been released.
What's the first thing you do?

Look for the ratings in the internet (www.imdb.com) or newspaper or magazine!
Isn't it?

Or ask your friends who have already seen it about the movie, right?


Why? I mean, why don't you just go directly, watch the movie and tell how is it?
Why you inquire about it first?


If the movie got bad ratings on the internet or paper, all your excitement dies down. You are just going to watch the movie taking a thought in your mind that the movie is not so good.
How will you enjoy the movie completely like this?
Yes, it happens!

And if any of your friend comes to you all grin on his face, "Oh damn, the movie was AWESOME! worth watching dude."
What do you do?
Don't you get a feeling that you should also go and watch the movie?

Most of the people today are dependent on what others think about something, not what they think about that thing.

If someone tells you "Levi's clothes are so itchy, uncomfortable. I hate them!"
Most probably you will go for Allen Solly's or Tag Heur.
But you will surely think twice before going for Levi's.


All I want to say is;
Don't depend on others' opinion. Try yourself first and then come to a conclusion. Maybe you'll get the best after all. Who knows?
