Imagine you have a neighbor who always says “hello” to you politely when you pass each other. For this reason, you consider him a nice person. However, one day, when you hear your “hello,” your neighbor just clears his throat gruffly and passes you by with a gloomy face. What will you think? Will you change your mind about him? No! You will most likely say that something unpleasant must have happened to him. He is a wonderful person, and the fault lies elsewhere. You already have a good opinion of him.

But it makes it easier to maintain a positive opinion about us . If you have a mishap, don't worry, no one will consider you a bad professional because of it.

Why am I posting about the Pygmalion Effect on New Year's Eve instead of preparing a year-end hong kong rcs data review or at least a New Year's resolution? Because I want you to take away a lesson from this that you can use in your resolutions.

Set ambitious goals for yourself and your loved ones. Believe in your own potential and infect others with this belief, and you will surely achieve them. Always take care of the first impression. Today, we make them primarily online, so polish all your social media channels. Chase your own image. In your own eyes. In the eyes of others.

Americans have a saying that perfectly ties in with the Pygmalion Effect – Fake it till you make it. In the New Year, I wish you to “make it” as soon as possible. Whatever that “make” is for you.
