~What makes us who we are~

What makes us who we are? Our identities are built bit by bit by our memories, our dreams and our imaginations. No one’s sense of self is fixed. Life is a journey that makes us all unique.

We are who we are because of the memory we have had~ we act according to the memory/data in our brain. That’s why….

When we think like a rich man, we will act like a rich man and the chances are, we will become rich

When we think like a poor man, we will act like a poor man and the chances are, we will be poor.

 In scientific terms, it means, humans’ action are the induction of the data/memory in our brain.
And the good news is our memory/data is modifiable. Now I understand why sifu says when we shout out our goals with true emotions, we will achieve it. In scientific term, emotions are actually a catalyst that drills a piece of data/memory even more in place in our brain.
 For example, lets say when a person is hurt by a friend, it involves a strong emotion. So, in most cases, it’s much difficult for this person to forget the event of being hurt and also his friend even if he wanted to forget so badly. the pain might fade with time but nt too soon. However, false memories/data could be inplanted into our brains to wash off the pain.

Anyway, to become successful, we must possess the data/memory/qualities a successful man has. That is why change is required. The classical way to change a person is to change their behaviour… they gotta be exposed to the right data constantly… the memory/data they gain must be in coherent with who they wanna become. This is where the right books and CDs play an important part in this business.

There is a part of our brain which is connected with emotional and social responses. It’s called the amygdale. it is also a powerful part of our brain which could modify certain memories. It’s more like a social thing.
 For example, in an experiment of 100 ppl, “A” was given a red ball and was asked what colour it is, “A” would certainly say it’s red. Then, “A” was given the false information that 99/100 people said it’s pink (using the same red colour ball). Then “A” was again asked, what colour is the ball, and this time, “A” answer was Pink~ 70% of the subject tested to this experiment did what “A” did when tested under the same circumstances.

That’s why, when ppl hear the word Amway, they tend to run away from it. It’s because the society around them lead them to think that Amway is a symbol of selling products, pulling ppl, etc. even if they know that it’s nth wrong doing thgs this way, but bcause everyone says it’s bad, so, they will unconsciously think it’s bad also.
But to someone who has no idea what Amway is, they would accept it much easier.

By using the same concept, praises and recognitions are actually words & actions of affirmation which gives confidence and approval to a person that what he/she did was correct and if they continue moving forward in this path, they will succeed. Praises also tend to activate the emotional part of our brain that will help drill the data/memory we want to implant in a person. When one successfully implanted the data of the quality of a successful man into a “A”’s mind, than “A” will succeed.
