Realistisk och optimistisk

De flesta av Marva Collins elever hade omdömts bl.a. "att inte skulle kunna lära sig i skolan" från sina tidigare lärare. Marva Collin såg potential i sina elever, undervisade och uppfostrade dem med tough love, så dessa elever presterade högre än någon hade kunnat tro. Realistisk optimist.

 

"We are what we think". "All that we are arises with our thoughts". "With our thoughts, we make our world". -- The Buddha

 

"Beliefs in personal efficacy affect life choices, level of motivation, quality of functioning, resilience to adversity and vulnerability to stress and depression." -- Albert Bandura

 

"People who regard themselves as highly efficacious act, think, and feel differently from those who perceive themselves as inefficacious. They produce their own future, rather than simply foretell it."  -- Albert Bandura

 

Ovan är några citat från Harvard University 05 Positive Psychology 1504 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXHqIZJ2LN8 

 

"Before the 1960s, runners believed that the mile couldn't be run faster than 4 minutes. Doctors ran tests and said that physiologically, 4 minutes was the limit. Roger Bannister said that this limit was nonsensical, and after training long enough, was able to run the mile in less than 4 minutes."
