Perception is the process of perceiving things . It is a person's point of view regarding a topic .

Attention is the process of paying concentration towards a topic or situation .

I use attention to concentrate on my daily work and activities so that I can complete the task perfectly and at proper time .

I use perception to give my viewpoints regarding any topic of interest

It was a crucial period for me .I used to forget things easily and was not able to concentrate . The actual cause behind this was the stress through which I was going on . To cope up with this I consulted a counselor and she advised me to do some stress relaxing techniques like yoga , meditation , engaging in activities which I like etc . By following her orders I was able to cope up with my attention deficit problem and improves my work performance.
