How Many Faces You See in a Day is a Staggering Number
To determine whether or not face recognition training can
benefit you, consider how many faces do you see in 15 minutes of television
show watching.
Fifty-eight faces and four crowd scenes is the number I came
up with recently. If you watch one hour of television per day, that’s 232
faces. If you go to school or church one day a week, add another 30 to 100 faces
to recognize; we’ll average this to a low of 50.
If you work in a people-related business, such as a retail
store or mall, law enforcement, at a state job, or the media, add another 50
faces on the average that you must recognize each day. If you work out at a
health club, add another 40 faces to include health club staff, people in
aerobics classes or on the bikes/treadmills, and people you know. Right now,
you’re at about 372 faces! That’s a lot!
How do you keep them straight? How do you develop face
recognition skills that can accurately remember and recognize faces?
How Your Brain Recognizes Faces
You might say, “Oh, I don’t need to remember all those faces
I see so it doesn’t matter.”
And certainly you don’t need to remember all 372 faces. The
problem comes in because when we see so many faces daily, we tend to start
categorizing faces as unimportant to look at. This is similar to seeing cars on
the road. Once you’ve seen the Smart Car, there’s no more “need” to look hard
at another one, right?
The human brain operates by pattern recognition. This is the
real reason why your brain categorizes faces as unimportant. After you
recognize the face is human, not alien or another species, is there really a
reason to look at the details?
Yes, there is. It’s the same reasoning as what is offered in
the philosophy of “taking time in life to smell the roses”. If you rush through
life without seeing the little miracles around you, you get to the end of life
wondering why you missed so much. Here’s a great video that sums up the benefits offace recognition
Are You Missing Out on the Beauty in Life?
If you categorize faces as unimportant after you notice that
the face has two eyebrows, two eyes, a nose, mouth, chin, cheeks and forehead,
you miss out on the beauty in faces that surround you.
And frankly, that’s a lot of beauty to miss in life.
Every time you observe something that is beautiful, your
soul stops momentarily and takes a break. It checks out of the fast lane of
stress and a moment of reprieve is offered.
Think of how your soul stops momentarily and takes a break
when you observe a beautiful waterfall, landscape or flower. That moment of
discovery of the beauty resets your attitude to appreciation and to wonderment.
You realize there still are things of wonder left in the world. And you come
back renewed.
How often do you get out to nature to observe the beauty
found there? For most people, it’s only on weekends or on vacations.
With face recognition training, you can have that same
experience of wonderment, appreciation and beauty every day simply by looking
into the faces of those around you. When you actually see the details of each
face, faces come alive to you in 3-D and in high resolution.
After people learn face recognition training from the Who
Was That Person? ebook series, the comments are always the same: “I never saw eyebrows until I read the first
book. I never saw eyes until I read the second book. I will never look at the
face again like the old way I used to!”
Life is a lot more beautiful with face recognition training
but you won’t know until you try it.
