Some people can foresee the development of events or immediately identify the cheater. At the same time, others are not distinguished by discernment. If you want to learn how to correctly assess the situation and understand people, work on developing your attentiveness and analytical skills.
A discerning person is able not only to soberly assess what is happening, but also to see the reason for some things. He easily discerns the essence of the issue among the unnecessary "husk". This means that such an individual is difficult to deceive. Someone who is well versed in people is more likely to succeed than more naive, narrow-minded individuals. Learn not to judge things and those around you superficially. Try to learn the root causes.
