“Label a man a loser and he will start acting like one.”
Aka the Pygmalion Effect.
Surprised why someone you know can’t seem to live up to expectations?
Have you thought about what you think of that person?
And his potential?
What do the other people around him think?
Believing in someone can let that person soar.
While not believing in someone can keep them down.
Whether you’re dealing with a child.
Or an adult.
Belief can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
