The Observer Effect: a teacher in a tough, inner city school was given a new group of students and informed that they were “gifted.” (However, they were just like all the other students at this school, which had a very high dropout rate) The Result: the students miraculously began to perform at a much higher level— even though they were not told of the experiment either. The way that the teacher “observed” this group of students actually CHANGED their behavior and performance, without them even being aware of it… How are you observing the things that you see today? Change the way you look at things and the things you look at CHANGE.
Catch it, come alive, pass it on.
