A different perspective on most all topics can lead to many new discoveries and new ideas. It also has the power to influence opinions and alter one’s own perspective on any situation. For example, something you may view as a tragedy, others may view as a great advancement in their lives. Different perspectives can always lead to a new way of thinking,if no one had a second opinion on something then just think about all the things we wouldn’t have. For example, cures for diseases. It takes many ideas to come up with a solution to any problem, and looking at things in a new way can often be beneficial to you or the other party depending on the situation.

A new perspective can change a bad day to a good one. All you have to do is try and look on the bright side instead of focussing on the negative, just get a different perspective. Instead of saying your glass is half empty, say it is half full it just sounds better. Perspectives are a wonderful thing to have and changing them up can really change it dramatically from what it once was. Others may look at a test and think it’s going to ruin them if they fail. Others look at a test and just think, well it doesn’t look too hard, it shouldn’t be  impossible. It is possible to pass and get a decent grade.

Many think a different perspective is very valuable to have. It just gives  the person an escape from certain situations and allows them to look at everything from a new angle. It could also provide you with a new attitude and a new outlook on life.
