I’m a pragmatic person by nature.  This being the case, the third chapter of our reading in The Art of Possibility was the most meaningful section for me.  I loved the how the author was able to literally apply the principal of “Giving an A” to his music students and see the power of change that it offered.  It seems that communicating your approval and expectation of excellence in another person before actual demonstration can have a powerful impact on the results.

Joshua,
I am not sure if I agree with you are not, although I loved the debate.  I think that most students would want to prove to the professor that they deserved the A and would work harder for the fact that they were given the chance.
As far as the senses I totally agree with you.  They have proven that humans are the worst witnesses to any type of crime.  Our mind remembers what we want to see not what was actually happening.  So as far as the sight sense it is not as accurate as the sense of smell for example.
Great thoughts.  I did not think of the readings in either way you did and it stretched my learning.  Thank you.
