Your Reputation Begets You
When people know what they are looked upon as, they become the same.
A person may not be as good as you tell him he is, but he'll try harder thereafter.
Treat a man as he appears to be, and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be.

If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.

That's how paradigms shift - gradually, then boom - at the tipping point.
