It's difficult . To think, you have to be at least 2 people at the same time . Then you have to let those people disagree .

After seeing a very peculiar behavior (although not rare) from a person yesterday . . I recalled reading last month the Journal from The Scripps Research Institute published in 2012, and stumbling upon a study conducted by Professor Norihiro Sadatowhen . . Which showed that . . when you assign someone a positive trait . . such as being smart or being a “good person” . . that actually prompts them to live up to that trait . The Pygmalion Effect . “the phenomenon where higher expectations lead to an increase in performance” . High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation . The opposite is also true . Low expectations undermine achievement . So, especially when with people you care about, cut down the "winner and loser conversation" and strive towards a more learner approach . With ❤️️ SuperHindustani
