Seating, temperature, clarity and volume of sound will all impact on whether it’s a good or poor experience.

An individual's perception and expectations are driven by his/her attitudes which determine how he/she reacts to and interact to the world in which he/she lives.

Whether our memories evoke pleasant or unpleasant reminders will affect our appreciation.
