THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FACULTY OF OBSERVATION
What is observation ?
Observation is the faculty of seeing men and things quickly and justly.
If you observe a lifeless thing, you must see its outlines, judge its dimensions, recognize its • peculiarities, conceive its beauties or its ugliness.
If you observe men, you must, when you see them, be able at the same time to penetrate them, be able to judge their interior from exterior, recognize their character by their peculiarities. The observer will comprehend the causes and effects of an action, he will even recognize the inspiration of such an action.
The faculty of observation is a vital quality for almost everybody who has a useful occupation.
The gift of observation creates invention; invention being utilization of experience, which itself is accumulation of observations.
