WHAT WE SEE IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE

A famous American psychologist doing an extraordinary experiment. He and his team gave an IQ test to all students in a school before the end of the school. Then they selected ten students and told the students that every teacher, "These ten students will be in your class. We know from their tests that they were technically excellent student. You will see that they all will be the top in their class at the next school year. You must promise not to say this to every student, because the effect would be detrimental to them. "The teachers were also promised to not say anything.

The reality is that none of the students from that list really smart. All ten children were randomly selected and only then submitted to the teacher.

A year later, the psychologists were returned to the school. They test all students. Some of them are said to serve targeted smart rise in value thirty-six points. The psychologists were interviewed and asked the teacher, "What do you think these students?" The teacher was immediately answered by using adjectives like "smart", "dynamic", "fun", "interesting", and forth.

What has happened to these students if the teachers do not think they are smarter in class? Precisely that is what the teacher has developed a whole potential of these students.

An ordinary person, if he trained, motivated, and maximized, the result will be 10 students had been lucky. Although he was filled with limitations. We'll see how an Alfa Thomas Edison, who is considered a slow student in his class, eventually became one of the most inventors in modern history. I do not know what would happen if he is treated like the Ten children were, well .. could be an atomic bomb first appeared before Einstein's contemporaries.

We see also a Hellen Keller who was deaf, dumb, blind since he was aged less than two years. As a common man, we might be confused how to solve it, how to teach. Perhaps we will think she should be allowed to live, be pampered, served, though he would not know anything until the end. But not with people nearby. They menemuan a way of communicating with children through the senses perabanya. He did not dimaja, precisely trained hard, until finally we know that Helen Keller, with all its limitations can become a famous lawyer and author renowned in his time.

IQ we can indeed mediocre, but do not blame us if we can exceed one time considered the most genius person in this country.

Never assume you are a small people, just because you do not have power over those around you.

Never assume you are poor just because you can not pay your school.

And Do not ever think you are stupid, just because you lose smart with your competitors. Remember kata2 an Alfa Thomas Edison who had once been branded stupid by his teachers

"The success was only 1% genius. 99% of it is hard work"

Suppose that you are great people (not necessarily in the physical sense of course) who can bring people around us becomes better, the very rich so as to give alms, and who are very smart to be able to practice his knowledge. But of course, do not you conceited and arrogant just because you think it is excessive. However, God is the Greatest.

Insha Allah, it's a step that will shape you and those around you.

Kondisikanlah people around you to think of you as a person more, and the excess was kelaman will appear in your self more quickly than before. If you are unable to condition the people around you to assume you like the teachers above considers the ten lucky students, graduate teachers and students came together in you. You are a teacher you also consider yourself as a clever student. Inshallah, it will also come versatility provided that you also learn of course.
