How do beliefs/expections influence our performance? How do beliefs impact reality?- Positive beliefs create motivation, which in turn leads to greater effort, which usually results in better results.
- Our mind has a need for consistency. We all have a mental schema of the world. The mind doesn't like when there is an inconsistancy between the external and the internal. The mind can update the schema, discard the conflicting evidence, or create a reality where the inaccuracy will be proven true.
- Our beliefs impact our interpretation of our results (e.g. got a poor grade - because I am stupid, or because I didn't work hard enough?), and that interpretation than reinforces our beliefs.
Learn to fail, or fail to learn. The most creative scientist of all time, Thomas Edison, also failed the most times.
Pessimists are realistic on their short-term goals and on their long-term goals. Optimists are unrealistic on their short-term goals, but realistic on their long-term goals. How? Tal Ben-Shahar tell you how. (Harvard University 06 Positive Psychology 1504 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYFefnw548o)
