Pygmalion Effect/Online clock/How bicycle works

Dear all Todays new term for me atleast is Pygmalion effect. The Pygmalion effect is a phenomenon where high expectations can lead to better performance, while low expectations can lead to poorer performance. Photo by Ludovic Migneault on Unsplash It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy, where what we believe about ourselves can affect our behavior and outcomes. Here are two examples that can help in explaining it. Imagine you have a teacher who believes you are really good at math. They give you extra challenging math problems to solve and praise you when you get the right answers. Because your teacher expects you to do well, you start to believe in yourself and put in extra effort to live up to their expectations. You start getting better and better at math because your teacher has high expectations for you. On the other hand, let's say you have a coach who thinks you are not very athletic. They don't give you much playing time during games and rarely offer you any feedback. Because your coach doesn't expect much from you, you start to believe that you aren't good at sports. You may not put in as much effort during practice or games, which could cause you to perform poorly. The low expectations of your coach have led to a negative outcome for you. In both of these examples, what other people expect of you can affect how you see yourself and how well you perform. So, it's important to have high expectations for yourself and to surround yourself with people who believe in you and encourage you to do your best.

Bill Ackman on success: "I've always had this view that success is not a straight line up. If you read the stories of successful people, almost every successful person has had to deal with some degree of hardship, whether that hardship is personal hardship, health-related hardship, or a business issue. I've always had the view that how successful you are is really a function of how you deal with failure. If you deal with failure well and you persist, you have a high probability of being successful." In order for you to beat someone in a debate, your opponent needs to realize they've lost. Therefore, it's easier to win an argument against a genius than an idiot. Two Write Ups I Enjoyed and Liked This is a genuinely brilliant (long) read explaining exactly how a bicycle works.
