As we grew up, we learned that certain bad habits can bring disaster and that we should avoid them at all costs. We learned that smoking can cause cancer, that leading a sedentary lifestyle and eating unhealthy food brings all sorts of diseases, and that bad financial habits lead to money problems. Aside from those, there is one psychological habit that’s just as horrible. If you have a habit of complaining about problems and inconveniences every change you get, you could be setting yourself up for failure.

May popular na 1960’s study kung saan ang isang Harvard professor na nagngangalang Robert Rosenthal ay nagresearch sa epekto ng expektasyon ng mga guro sa mga estudyante. Nagbigay siya ng standard IQ test sa mga batang nasa elementary, random siyang pumili ng mga ordinaryong bata, at sinabi niya sa mga guro nito na ang mga estudyanteng iyon ay magiging napakatalino. Tama sa hinala, matapos ang dalawang taon tumaas ang IQ ng mga napiling estudyante.

Noong nagpatuloy ang pananaliksik ni Rosenthal, natuklasan niya na ang expektasyon ng mga guro ay nakaapekto sa pakikipag-ugnayan nila sa mga random na napiling estudyante. Ang mga inaasahan ng mga guro na magtagumpay ay binigyan ng mas-maraming oras para sumagot sa tanong, mas ispesipikong feedback, at mas maraming papuri: mas-madalas silang humawak, tumango, at ngumiti sa mga batang iyon. Sa madaling salita, ang expectations nila ay nakaaapekto sa kanilang galaw, at ang galaw nila ay nakaaapekto sa kanilang resulta. Inasahan nilang magiging mabuti ang mga bata, kaya sila’y gumalaw sa paraang nakapagpatalino sa mga batang iyon.

Ano ang kinalalaman ng kuwentong ito sa iyo? Simple lang. Ang expektasyon mo sa sarili mo ay makaaapekto sa iyong galawin. Alam mo man o hindi, gagalaw ka sa paraan na magpapakatotoo ng expektasyon mo. Ang buong buhay mo ay sumasalamin sa iyong pag-iisip.

Bakit ito mahalaga? Kung pangarap mong umiwas sa buhay ng pagkatalo at gusto mong umasenso, kailangan mong pag-aralan kung paano kontrolin ang iyong pag-iisip at pagbutihin ang iyong expektasyon.

How you get what you Expect: Why Life is a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

There’s a famous 1960’s study where a Harvard professor named Robert Rosenthal researched on the effects of teachers’ expectations on students. He gave a standard IQ test to elementary children, selected some ordinary kids at random, and told teachers that those few students will soon become very intelligent. Sure enough, after two years, the selected students DID indeed show an increase in IQ.

As Rosenthal’s research continued, he found that the teachers’ expectations affected their interactions with those randomly selected students. Those kids that the teachers expect to succeed were given “more time to answer questions, more specific feedback, and more approval: They consistently touch, nod and smile at those kids more.” In short, expectations affected their behavior, and their behavior affected their results. They expected the kids to do well, so they behaved in ways that made the kids do better.

So what does this story have to do with you? It’s simple. Your expectations about YOURSELF affects your behavior. Whether you know it or not, you act in ways that will make your expectations reality. Your entire life is a reflection of your thoughts.

Why is this important? If you want to avoid a life of failure and you want to improve the quality of your life, you need to learn how to control your thoughts and improve your expectations.

“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire, not things we fear.” – Brian Tracy

(Ang susi sa tagumpay ay ang pagfocus ng ating isipan sa mga gusto natin, hindi sa mga kinatatakutan natin.)

Alam mo ba na ang paggawa ng layunin gaya ng “gusto ko ng masayang buhay” o “gusto kong yumaman” ay hindi makabubuti? Hindi ko sinasabi iyon dahil imposible silang makamit. Ito’y dahil sila’y napakalabo na hindi ka makakauha ng impormasyong magagamit mo para makamit ang mga ito. Bukod pa doon, wala din silang nakatakdang hangganan kaya hindi mo malalaman kung tunay mo nga ba silang nagawa. Kung gusto mong makamit ang iyong mga pangarap at magtagumpay sa isang bagay, kailangan mong pag-aralan ang tamang paglikha ng layunin. Pag-aralan mong mabuti ang article na ito, at gumawa ka ng layunin gamit ang mga prinsipyo dito.

“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire, not things we fear.” – Brian Tracy

Did you know that setting “goals” like “I want to be happy” or “I want to be rich” are a recipe for disaster? No, I’m not saying that because they’re impossible to achieve, it’s that they’re so vague that they won’t give you any information that you can actually act upon. Aside from that, they have no end point to let you know when you’ve finally accomplished the goal. If you want to achieve the things you want and become successful at something, then you must learn how to set goals in life properly. Study this article well, and create your goals based on the principles here!
