The Rocco Effect - Imagine others want the best for you

I can read minds, but I'm illiterate - Mitch Hedberg 


The Rocco Effect - Imagine others want the best for you


Is it possible to know if 'they think I'm ____'?  Their actions and words may point to one outcome, but how often have others misread your actions and words?  Is it likely that your skills outweigh theirs?  

Mind-reading is a huge problem for all of us.  We imagine what others are thinking and then react to that.  All to often we imagine that they are thinking the worst about us.  As a result we build resentment towards them and dissatisfaction with ourselves.

'They did ____ because ____', How can we know the thoughts that lead to the action?  We often don't know why we perform some of our own actions.  


Task

1. Take a mental note whenever you notice yourself mind reading (They think ____, They did that because ____)

2. Imagine others want the best for you.  Repeat positive thoughts when you see others. (They love me, They think I'm cool, They want to be my friend).

3.  After a week take a mental note of how much better you feel.

Whenever you are in a state of truly loving life remind yourself 'This is all on loan.'  Be grateful and take in all you can, cause one day, memories is all you'll have left.

My Animation Process (Honours - Game Scene)

I just want to show you how much effort i actually put into an animation. And who knows maybe you just might learn something from it all. 1st of the line test.  This helps me picture whats going to happen and lets me test out wether the animations work or not.  Also alot easier to make changes at this stage as its so basic. I then move on to a fleshed out version.  Basically the final version without the details.  This allows me to see how the final version will look and allows me to make any changes before the final version, were it will be much harder to change as there is a-lot more detail in it. I then add some basic colours to show me how it looks coloured.  This allows me to see what changes need to be made to the outlines. And finally the final version.  Cleaned up lines and the final colours.  I wish i had more time to spend on the lines and th...
