I spy...


......When you watch a really slick detective show or a mystery movie.... you must have noticed the part where the detective either proves their worth by giving you details of your life that they figured out by observing you, how your dressed, your mannerisms etc ..... where with one swift sweeping look they go through seemingly obvious tell-tale signs regarding your personality, obsessions, whether your lying or not etc or...... where they skilfully piece together a complex puzzle with attention to detail or common sense!...... of course in most cases the credit goes to sharp script and dialogue writers...... but all based on a very real capacity of observation......
I've always found this one of the most fascinating traits to possess...... unfortunately, this is when the phrase "you either have it or you don't" becomes apt...... I, pitifully enough, have tried many times to soak in more from an environment or person..... but its not something i have gained proficiency in..... after a point it evolves into being an art form..... where you naturally screen the things that you are looking for and are necessary...... Generations of professionals and con artists have made much more than bread and butter on the basis of these skills...... it is is probably the one trait, I shall ever be truly jealous of......
