Between them, you had never seen Suresh playing around with his friends in the playground. But many often you had noticed Ramesh do so. So, you had this preconceived notion in your mind that Suresh must have been a good student and Ramesh must not be at all. As many times you had seen Ramesh playing and gossiping with his friends in the playground. Although in the last exam in their school Suresh and Ramesh both had the same marks. But you were unaware of this fact. So as per your preconceived notion or belief, you started to give them tuition. Your beliefs influenced YOUR ACTIONS Your actions impacted THEIR BELIEFS about themselves Their belief about themselves caused THEIR ACTIONS towards you Which reinforces YOUR BELIEFS about them So your beliefs about them became more strong and it influenced YOUR ACTIONS more and more. And in this way, a cyclic process had been started. Scientifically, this phenomenon is called the Pygmalion Effect. The Pygmalion effect is also known as the Rosenthal Experiment, named after research of Robert Rosenthal. Rosenthal experimented at a school. At the beginning of the school year, a group of elementary school teachers was told that some of their new pupils had extraordinary talent and potential. This information, which was completely made up, was given about random average students in each class, all students had done an IQ test in advance. After testing the same experiment in different fields when Robert Rosenthal saw the result in every case, he concluded: “When we expect certain behaviours of others, we are likely to act in ways that make the expected behaviour more likely to occur.” As Martin Luther King said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” Join us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sflpeng Join us on Telegram: https://t.me/sflpeng Follow Suman personally on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sumansflp #motivation #inspiration #success
