問題詳情：
A famous professor did a study in a primary school. At the beginning of the school year, teachers were given the names of five children. The teachers were told that these students were the best students in the class while the fact was that these students were only average. But by the end of the year these five average students score the highest in the class.
What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in the teachers’ attitudes. Since the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. So these five average students began to expect more from themselves.
You know, if you expect the best from others, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”
It reminds me of another story of 7-year-old Johnny. His teacher got so tired of him. One day she said, “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest boy in this class!” The next year Johnny had a different teacher. The new teacher said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you. But I don’t believe a word of it.” Johnny’ new teacher treated him as if he was one of the smartest, best-behaved students. Well, you guessed it. After just a few months, Johnny became one of the top students in that class. Later on he became a great leader. .
Therefore, it’s the power of our love, belief, and encouraging attitude towards our children that matter.
