"Imagine you really wanted something and all you had to do was ask the universe
and you would get it. That’d be awesome, right?!
I present this to my students in my first-year Research Methods in Psychology
course, in the first session of the semester. Then I ask them what they think.
The first respondent is usually bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. They say
something like: “Absolutely! You can achieve anything you want if you put your
mind to it!” Emboldened, a handful of others express similar sentiments.
Naturally, there are also sceptical students, but at this point it doesn’t suit
my agenda to give them much oxygen.
Next, I tell the students I presume they’d all love to achieve High
Distinctions in my course. I tell them it is, in fact, possible, and I’m going
to share how it can be done. At this point, even the most sceptical students
are intrigued.
I tell them all they need to know is …
The Secret."
Cheers,
