The self-fulfilling prophecy

wanna record about "The Pygmalion Effect" i've heard abt today.
AC told us on our las day of the LPM course that there's this researcher who talks to a jar of water, telling it consistently that it's a jar of bad water, it's useless, n he'll pour it away. he told a 2nd jar of water, that it's a good jar of water, it's his livestock, and he will drink it.

some days later, the first jar of water, turned bad and start to smell bad. the second jar, however, stay the same.
then, he did it to 2 bowls of rice. and this time again, the first bowl turns bad, the second bowl, stayed the same.

this is not a new theory. this is also something we've talk abt everyday - positive self-talk. tell yourself that u hv bad skin, looks ugly, is stupid and wil fail in life. u probably wil.

now, u decide wat u wanna tell urself in the mirror tomolo morning. if u will, tell gd things to others too... sounds like we can change the world too, hehe.

take care, good rice!

谁明理谁当备胎

又一张妈妈递给我的短篇文章.

谁明理谁当备胎 (文／吴淡如)

某周六下午，晓娜接到阿强的电话，约她晚上吃饭。 阿强是她的同事，两人比同事的感情要好一点。 他约她单独吃饭，该是对她展开行动了。 心中雀跃的她梳妆打扮，没想到正打电话叫车要赶赴约会地点时，阿强打电话来说：“家里有急事，改天再吃饭好吗？”

虽然失望，晓娜还是提醒自己做个明理的女人，不要追问原因。 可是已经打扮好，还是出去晃晃算了。 她约了好友，到阿强原来订位的餐厅用餐。 出乎意料，阿强坐在里头，对面是一个清秀女子。

原来阿强说谎。 挣扎了几天，她终于忍不住跑去问阿强。 “噢，她是我以前的同学，我家那天真的有急事，可是她忽然打电话来，说她失恋了，我怕如果我不去陪她，她会想不开，她以前就有自杀纪录。” “喔。”晓娜接受了。 阿强为了向晓娜赔罪，果然镇重的请晓娜吃了一顿饭。 这是两人交往前发生的事。 直到一年后，晓娜才发现，自己只是阿强的备胎情人，而那个坐在阿强对面“有自杀纪录”的女子，才是他正牌女友。

正牌女友不理阿强时，阿强找她填补空档，正牌女友愿意临幸他时，他马上回她身边。 晓娜问他：“为何我总是被牺牲的那一个？” “妳比较明理，不像她会无理取闹，所以我无可奈何。”晓娜一直被阿强用这样的话安抚着。 “难道理性也是一种错吗？”晓娜伤心的说。

理性不是错。 错在于他比较爱另外一个女人。 而妳喜欢他也比他喜欢妳多一些。 遇到一个老是把妳放在次要考虑的人，妳早该表达不满，或早该走了，却还留在原地体恤、纵容他的谎言，会让他以为，妳就是甘于做备胎情人。

99 Club

...He continued, 'The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they're always yearning and Striving for that extra 1, saying to themselves: 'Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.'

Darling, it's me
