Video Overview
A student connects a course discussion about rewriting the subconscious and updating the mind's firmware with two personal experiences. During the second year of index investing, coworkers jokingly began calling him a major investor. He developed a ritual of tapping a crystal bowl with NT$50 coins and gave some coins to departing colleagues as a blessing, eventually feeling certain that financial success would become part of his life. In another incident, poor service at a high-speed rail ticket counter no longer felt worth dwelling on. The speaker uses these stories to distinguish positive and negative influences from the external environment and internal language. He favors repeated positive statements for oneself and family and, in parenting, distinguishes encouragement and necessary behavioral correction from lecturing that may provoke resistance. These are personal experiences and the speaker's psychological views, not empirically established conclusions.
