How you look
But what you have seen
And what you reveal does count
It is worth knowing what you know
They will watch you
To see how well you have watched
But one who observes only himself
Gains no knowledge of men
From himself he hides too much of himself
And no man is wiser than he has become
Therefore your training must begin among
The lives of other people
Make your first school
The place you work in, your home,
The district to which you belong,
The shop, the street, the train
Observe each one you set eyes upon
Observe strangers as if they were familiar
And those whom you know as if they were strangers
