Is seeing believing?

There's a lot going on in the blog world at the moment with both Rob and Chris posting some new stuff. I have commented on their blogs as the general topic seems to revolve around mind-sets and comfort zones at the moment. I certainly believe that you influence the world around you by the way you perceive it. In quantum physics there is the theory that the observer affects the experiment he is observing. It certainly seems true that we can affect how we see the situation in front of us just by the way we impose our perceptions and prejudices on it. As a fencer it is important to really see what is happening during a match and as an individual it is important to really see the situations of life for what they are.
To further this topic, here's a link sent to me by my Coach Andy. There is some interesting stuff in here if you want to look for it...!
