House of 1000 mirrors
Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often." In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again." All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet? ~~ Author Unknown

The message of the story is that sometimes you receive what you give. By this, I mean that when you are a smily and friendsihp person to people, that people will probably answer you with the same attitude. On the other hand, if you are not on your mood and don't show people interst in being with them, you will receive a bad answer form the other side.

I see many content ones as well as sad ones. From what I understood, if you are a good person to others, they will respond to you in the same way and the same thing the other way around, if you are a bad person, others will also do to you.

This story made me understand that your surroundings and the responses that you see in other people are simply the reflections of your own attitude or self esteem. In order to recieve good energy, you must set your mentality to positive, and give the same energy that you would like to get.

In this story we can see that some atitudes might seem insignificant but when me make it bigger, as it happens in the story with the mirrors, it can have a heavy impact on us. We can se that the happy dog was normal didn't careing about his atitude and when it was amplified as 1000 dogs it had a good impact on him, making him like the place and, when the with some bad atitude who didn't care about it went, and when his atitude was amplified against him with the mirrors it also had a heavy impact on him, but this time a negative one, making him leave the place and don't wanting to go never again.

My reflection is that the message this story is giving, is that you have to be convinced of what you are choosing, because if you or in this case the second little dog, go to a place already being unhappy you will always have a bad time. Having a different attitude can change an entire experience.

We think that each person's attitude and energy affects the way things turn out. If you enter a shop with a frustration face or bad mood you will turn that people bad. Or maybe, if you have bad expectations of something you will end having a bad time, even if it was jot that bad. On the other hand, if you go to a place with a positive mood you will end having a good time, even if it was not good.

My reflection is that you recibe what you give. The dog when he smiled a great smile, he was answered with 1000 great smiles. When the other dog growled at the other dogs, he revived 1000 dogs growling back at him

My reflection about this story is that is very different the views about the different people of the world. We can see it perfectly here with the two dogs that one said that is a wonderful place and the other one said that it is a horrible place

My reflection about this text is that people will treat you the same way that you treat them. If you are unfriendly t0wards the other, you will find it harsh to make friends because people will treat you the same way. On the other hand, if you treat people in a nice way, people will think you are friendly and will want to become closer to you. It all depends on your disposition and how you decide to treat others

The message that this story gives is that if you give a happy face to the other, they will return another happy face. Everything depends on how you comfront it and how you act on it. Good actions are always rewarded with better actions.

My reflection is that the way you face life affects how you will live. If you are always angry and at the moment of meeting someone you are angry, most probably that person will leave you apart or won't be happy to talk to you. But if you are open and happy to meet new people the most probable case is that that new person you are meeting will be glad to talk to you.

The story shows how different people react to the same situation. If yu are extroverted, you may react as the first dog and introverted as the secodn one. Every human has their own fears.

My reflection would be that you have to grateful with what you have and you have to take life easily and happily. If not bad things will happen to you, although this is a story and the 1000 happpy and the other 1000 unhappy dogs were the reflection.

A happy dog gets smiles from others, while a grumpy dog sees frowns. It shows that our attitudes affect how people treat us.

How you reflect to others means how they will treat you. Also you have to face life with good humour.
