The Power of Belief (3)
Decent_Love: During a brutal study at Harvard in the 1950s, Dr. Curt Richter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could swim in water.
On average they’d give up and sink after 15 minutes.
But right before they gave up due to exhaustion, the researchers would pluck them out, dry them off, let them rest for a few minutes – and put them back in for a second round.
In this second round – they swim for 60 hours.
How did they swim for 60 hours this time?
since the rats BELIEVED that they would eventually be rescued, they could push their bodies way past what they previously thought impossible. If hope can cause exhausted rats to swim for that long, what could a belief in yourself and your abilities, do for you?
Somehow, I really needed this. Thank you for it.On average they’d give up and sink after 15 minutes.
