LET’S DEFINE THEM FIRST
These two words and concepts are certainly a pair!
Perception & Perspective, they do work in concert with each other, especially as you operate your internet marketing business. But, they are, two different methods of reference.
One is characterized by incoming data and the other is characterized by outgoing data, isn’t that an interesting observation?
Do you see which one adheres to these precepts? You can almost discern the answer from the contextual use of certain words!
PERCEPTION
DEFINITION – From: Merriam-Webster – 1a.) the way you think about or understand someone or something. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/perception) & From: The Free Dictionary – 1.) the act or faculty of apprehending by means of the senses or the mind; cognition; awareness. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/perception)
Perception is more about the result of data that has been taken in by you, processed by your faculties, your senses and your mind. Your perception is uniquely your own.
PERSPECTIVE
DEFINITION – From: The Free Dictionary – 1a.) a view or vista 1b.) a mental view or outlook. 3c.) The ability to perceive things in their actual interrelations or comparative importance. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/perspective) & From: Merriam-Webster – 2b.) the capacity to view things in their true relations or relative importance <trying to maintain my perspective> 3b.) a mental view or prospect <to gain a broader perspective on the international scene — Current Biography> (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/perspective)
Perspective is often thought of as a viewpoint, in the literal sense. Your angle of view, or sight line produces a different view than the view from someone who is only steps away from you.
This understanding is often used metaphorically, as an example, to illustrate one’s intended meaning.
YOURS IS DIFFERENT FROM THEIRS
You may share a very similar understanding and viewpoint, but you can count on the individuality of another person’s perception and perspective.
These two words are really descriptors about how we ‘communicate’. Perception is more about … “Oh, I get it, internally, mentally.”… while Perspective is more about … “Oh, I see it, outwardly, mentally.”
Our goal in communicating ideas and concepts to the home based internet marketing audience, is to affect the recipient of the information.
If you care about impacting your audience, it is always the responsibility of the communicator to craft the message in such a way that the audience has the intended ‘aha’ experience!
You are both enriched by the process and exchange!
