Do you notice a fly on the Wall. Actually, a fly on the Wall is an analogy. It alludes to the position of being able to freely observe without being oneself noticed. LOL, in our Real life, in many situations, it is wise to be a fly on the Wall. Observe, think more, act and think over, observe, ...I think we will be successful.

I have always been like that, more of an observer than a participant in life. I learn a lot this way. It gives me more perspectives and opinions, I am always able to put myself in others positions by doing this.

yeah, I am somewhat young, but I rather observe than doing something and not putting a good amount of tought on it. As you said on your post, it gives you such an amazing chance to analyze different points of view about something. I think is a good thing to be a fly on the wall. You get to learn a lot!

I often think that it is better to be a spectator at a game of chess than to be a player, though there are times where you would be able to suggest a move, but you cannot, because you are only a spectator. It is certainly more comfortable to observe, but if it wants to be successful, your fly has to fly at the right time, instead of staying on the wall.

Yeah, I agree with you. But I find that nowadays some young people could keep silent when they still are not clear what had happened. I think it is wise to observer before you take actions.
