Secrets to Body Language: Video

I, in my opinion, agree with the experts that body language is crucial in determining how one perceives another. When you are only hearing one's words, you may feel differently as conmpared to actually watching one SPEAK. Body language is important because it has the ability to tell us things that the speaker does not. For instance, who has the "UPPER HAND" in a handshake can tell us who thinks who's in charge, as well as who "GOES THROUGH THE DOOR LAST" which shows us the same thing. We can also narrow down our choices to what is TRUTH and what is LIE through body language and not words. Body language also heavily affects how we SEE EACH OTHER. We may be able to point out all the negative or positive things in a person which may affect how we see the personality of a person. Thus, body language is crucial, in even our EVERYDAY LIVES.
