In the 1983 Star Wars blockbuster, “Return of the Jedi,” Luke Skywalker said:
“I’ll never turn to the dark side. You’ve failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.”
With that in mind, there’s one caveat I must make.
Use the following information ONLY for good!
Do NOT go to the dark side.
Because we DO have extraordinary power, whether we’re conscious of it or not, to influence those around us for good or for ill...
... Including our tutors, teachers and college mates.
So... let’s take a one-question quiz about Greek mythology...
Here’s your one-question quiz:
Who was the Greek sculptor who fell in love with the statue he created?
The poor guy was so enamored with his creation that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, took pity on him and breathed life into the statue.
Then the sculptor and the living statue got married, had a daughter, etc., etc.
Now to the point.
Who was the sculptor?
His name was Pygmalion and the story has been repeated in various forms for years.
The most well-known is the play and movie, “My Fair Lady.”
But the point for your COLLEGE life is a phenomenon called, “The Pygmalion Effect.”
“The Pygmalion effect is a psychological phenomenon wherein high expectations lead to improved performance in a given area.”
The good news is, there’s high hope in the Pygmalion effect...
Because the more you focus on your ASSIGNMENTS, the better results you will get and the more your mates would love you...
...And the more they'll want to follow you...
OK, now you’ve probably heard of the experiment where random students were picked for 2 groups of teachers.
Then one group of teachers were told they had the gifted-student group, and other teachers were told they had the average group.
What happened?
After a year, the gifted group had better grades, higher IQs, learned faster, and learned more easily.
Why?
Because the higher expectations of the teacher led to subtle cues that the student picked up on and created a positive feedback loop...
YOU have the power to do the same thing with the right team on your side.
We’ve perfected the ways that can help you achieve the most in the least amount of time....
