When I was a kid, I had always this question, how a movie Director work? What kind of quality they have so that other people let them be directed? I don’t know the answer, but I have some assumptions. I think they understand the whole pattern of sequences. And they can relate characters expressions to those sequences. They have something in their head that tells them if every bits and pitches on the screen are as expected or not. They can see how the people looks like, how their structures, there skeletons. They understand the pattern that this boy or girl will be perfect for the character for his next movie when put in a certain angle.
How does a Mathematician works ? To answer that question, we need to find what math is ? To me, it’s a certain calculation procedure. All the equations we studied in high school, they all represents some sort of calculation. Our fellow ancestor humans found them while working with different things. People found calculating mass of a certain thing help them to trade. Calculating surface area helps them to find out how pain it is needed for a wall. There are a lot of these silly example. I think the most important thing here is to find out a specific case where calculations are needed. Then trying to find out a new formula or enhance an existing one for that calculation. I think that’s where mathematicians are good at.
Now how about artists? I was always overwhelmed by artists. Whenever I look at peoples faces, all I can see is face. Well, obviously that’s a face, but when I try to draw it in paper, I draw a circle for the face, and then some few smaller circles to represent the eyes and another hole for the mouth. But that’s limit for my stupid drawing skill. On the other hand, when an artist get to draw a face, he knows how does a face look like. He remembers all the details that a face has, how much curve do the eyebrows have, the relative distance and directions between the eyepetals, should he draw the eyeline first or later so that he can draw the eyeball borders, how much shade is there under the nose, how much smile is on the leap, and that little dimple, or even all details about it’s gloominess or enchantments. He see all these things, border by border, layer by layer.
Music composers, they feel the vibration of the tunes. They think about the chords, ups and downs of the beats. They know which sequence produces a soothing feeling and which one makes grieve, which one makes joyful feelings. They try with lots of variation on their head and come up with a several pose, try them and finally we get a nice composition.
Poets, They see the nature, they can describe to the deep details which you may have never thought of. It’s just not about nature, it can be any thing, city, human body, event. They basically describe. And to describe you need to see all those little peaks. Putting into words are easy when you get the skill of seeing details.
Magicians see where people wouldn’t see and use that as a illusion. Good magic always looks like an surprise. They remain surprised until they reveal the magic. Sometime even remain thundered after revealing that how could they miss the trick! Sometimes magicians even invent new technology as part of their magic. It’s magicians job to find out scenarios where people will not look over, finding out the blind spots.
Team Leads who works as a people manager, see how the fellow colleagues work, what is blocking them, what are they missing. What could be the possible problem that they are stuck at, did they already identified the problem, are they willing to hear it from a second mouth, would it better to directly suggest the solution or asking the right question to trigger so that the peer finds the problem themselves. That’s how team leads see.
Politicians, they see the trend in people’s need. Good politicians understands what people wants, understands what opponents might be doing, they make relations with other politicians to get the benefit. Investors see the ups ans downs of people need. The need that can be filled up by the product that will be there in future.
As a human, it’s one our greatest skills that we can see. We see different things. If you are reading this line, I give you a special thank, you’ve survived all above stupid words. Enough garbage talks, let me pose the final question, what do you actually see ?
