What you see is what you get...

'What you see is what you get' is a computer science terminology which I learnt during my engineering course. Recently, I figured out that this is not only true for computers, but also applicable to us!

Have you ever felt that you see a set of things very often? like, your company's Ads/logos everywhere? Cool bikes/cars? etc.
Our attention is more often attracted to a set of people or things. Most often, it might be desire in us which tunes the frequency of our eyes accordingly.

Yesterday I was walking with my friend, a car passed by. I felt, we both saw a nice car passing by and said, 'Wow! what a car!'. For this my friend replied, 'Wow, what a girl she was!'. For a moment I didn't understand him, but later came to know that there was a beautiful girl sitting inside that car, and I didn't notice her!

This incidence made me think that there is something to do with the frequency of our eyes. This unique frequency might have made me look at the car only, and my friend ended up looking only the girl.

When our attention is on some things for more often, I feel, we gradually end up getting that thing. We generally ignore this behavior of ours and will not be knowing its significance. In fact, It is very hard to explain and looks scary!

You might be surprised to know that it might be working with you too.. :)

In my case, it seems to be so true! Here it goes...


When I was a kid going to primary school, I used to see my seniors in high school. After some time, I was in high school.

While I was walking alone on the road, everywhere I used to see kids riding bicycles. After some time, I got one and started cycling.

While in school, I was seeing students topping the class. After some time, I was topper of the class.

When I was in high school, everywhere I used to see guys going to science college. After some time, I was studying in a science college.

While I was in science college, everywhere I used to see guys doing their Engineering. After some time, I joined an Engineering college.

During college days, I was seeing many groups of friends. After some time, I was having good friends and also had a group.

While in college, I used to walk and was seeing many students coming on their bikes. After some time, my father bought me a bike.

while I was doing my engineering, everywhere I used to see Engineers working in top MNCs. After some time, I was working in a top MNC.

While working, I saw many people going abroad. After some time, I was sent abroad.

While working as an engineer, I was seeing many senior engineers around me. After some time, I was promoted as a senior engineer.

And now I am seeing cars everywhere! Never know, I might end up buying one :)

Well, now think...... What are you seeing most often(everywhere)?
