Do you suffer from “THAT’S JUST THE WAY THEY ARE” syndrome?

For many, many years, we all succumbed to the idea of “that’s just the way s/he is – that’s all they can be or ever will be…”  I was on track teams from junior high into college.  No one ever told me that you could learn to run faster.  I just assumed – whatever speed you could run, that was it! Long after my track “career” – I heard that you could improve our speed.

Same thing with most other forms of human achievement and performance.

When I was a school psychologist, administering those darned intelligence tests, one MAJOR realization was that “intelligence” – whatever that is, measures THE SPEED at which someone learns, NOT If they can learn.  With enough repetition, we can all LEARN, even to mastery!

So please don’t give in to the “that’s just the way they are” syndrome!!!  Yes, we all - even your teen – can become better – at almost anything!
