Many people don’t believe it but you can become who you want to be. But you need to want to become that person. And don’t listen to me. Look at the data and evidence. One of the classic stories in the field of self-fulfilling prophecies is of a computer in the UK that was accidently programmed incorrectly. This computer was supposed to be used by a school to put children in the “right” classrooms, i.e., in the classroom of smart people and in the classroom of the dumb people. Yeah… English...
A friend asked me a couple of days ago. What’s your opinion about the debate, who won? My answer was short and to the point. “I didn’t watch the debate. I didn’t read about it.
