Shift Happens Series with Donald Gordon Carty - "Changing your perspective is a matter of choice"
Perspective is part of what makes us human - it can always be changed, shifted, adjusted as new information comes in or as we make new choices.

The concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy is an important one, not just in psychological research but also in sociological research. Most notice that sometimes a belief brings about consequences that 'cause' the reality to match the belief. Generally those at the center of a self fulfilling prophecy don't understand that their beliefs 'cause' the consequences that they expected or feared.

“Citizenship in a Republic”, which, among some, would come to be known as “The Man in the Arena.”
Roosevelt railed against cynics who looked down at men who were trying to make the world a better place. “The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer,” he said. “A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticize work which the critic himself never tries to perform... Then he delivered this inspirational and impassioned message that drew huge applause:
The speech was a wild success. According to Morris—who calls it “one of [Roosevelt’s] greatest rhetorical triumphs”—“Citizenship in a Republic” ran in the Journal des Debats as a Sunday supplement, got sent to the teachers of France by Le Temps, was printed by Librairie Hachette on Japanese vellum, was turned into into a pocket book that sold 5000 copies in five days, and was translated across Europe.’”
