As The Eye Sees

Recently I tried to buy Mark, my SO, some clothes. I struck out 100%...like big time...zero of 10. Everything was too small. How my eye saw the clothes was not accurate. The funny thing is that a week prior I had went to a store to shop for myself and I was hoping that most of the clothes I took to the dressing room wouldn't fit, but 95% did. We often know the truth about ourselves and others cannot see these truths. Dark, cold, warm or beautiful, we hold them close. No one knows the best or worst of me better than I do. So is this how things should be or how they are prone to be? I don't know about you but I greatly dislike when I underestimate or overestimate someone. It happens more that any of us is comfortable with. The solution...gather and use data carefully. Rely less on intuition and more on fact. Things don't change as often as we think or desire so in many cases data will hit the nail on its head.
