感想：作者在对孩子的教育中发现要想改变当下的情形，首先需要改变的是自己，而要想改变自己，我们首先需要改变自己的认识。人们对事物容易有先入为主的看法，第一眼觉得这个人穿得花里胡哨，就会觉得这个人是个没什么内涵的人，就像书中的那句话We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. 但是就像文中举得那个例子，在进行交谈后你会瞬间对对方改观，所以我们应该listen to others and be open to their perceptions, thereby getting a large picture and a far more objective view
就像那句俗语Don't judge a book by its cover
