Tip #221: An excercise in character

looking at passersby in the street or surreptitiously at other people in the cafe. Pretend you're them: do they move comfortably or in distress?... Where is their attention fixed, and why might it be so?... Check expressions on faces... Who looks comfortable in themselves, and who doesn't?... What would it be like to be twenty years older? Twenty years younger? What worlds do they look out on and do they see the same things you do? What might be their fears? Hopes? Dreams? What do they want from life... and on and on.

Try choosing the people that interest you least.
