Sometimes we admire the qualities in others we wish we’d (but do not yet) possess. But the seed is already in us, just being watered.

I love where this idea goes, but I have to testproof it (to buy it).
I wonder where does ‘the opposites attract’ fit then? Seriously. I admire public presenters, but I have a mortal fear of standing on the stage to present.
Also, according to the Principle of Duality, you would admire the similar qualities only when they appear in contrast to something. Meaning that the sheer existence (and quantity) of contract thing proves the value of your quality.
Seems like something is missing here.

Here’s another interesting provoking thought: the mirrored image of you is actually a switched, negative image. ;)
