A researcher from Harvard asked the question, is the Pygmalion Effect real or is it just convenient? You know, just some explanation and it's we're not real. We actually move, especially depending upon the level of our influence on other people, what they think of us. So do you look for your weaknesses constantly? Or do you look to develop your strengths? What do you focus on life? Do you focus more on worrying about what will go wrong or creating what will go right? That pig mailing effect says that when I work with people and I look at myself, I'm going to look more for those possibilities rather than limits.
