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!
