Pygmalion

I feel very lucky to have lots of friends who always wake me up, when I’m about to give up..Thanks to Irfan with this story.
Pygmalion
Pygmalion is a youngman who talented in art sculpture.
He’s really proficient in carving sculpture
He’s handcarving is really remarkable.
But not by his talent, he conceded and loved by friends and neighbors.
Pygmalion known as a positive thinker.
He always consider everything in positive angle.
When the city square become wet and muddy, and all people grumbling.
Pygmalion said, “Thank God the other field is not as wet as this field”
When a sculpter buyer looked persistent in bargaining price, and Pygmalion friends whispering,” how stingy that person is,”
Pygmalion said,”Perhaps that person still need to spend the money on something more important,”
When kids stole apples at his yards, Pygmalion never complaining. He feel sorry to see those kids and said,”Poor children, they don’t get proper education and food at home,”
That’s Pygmalion sight. He never see any circumstances in bad side, but on the good side. He never think bad about others;in the contrary, he try to imagine some good side from people's bad manners.
One day, Pygmalion carve a women sculpture from wood. His hand carving is really smooth and soft. That sculpture size is equal to the human size. The face of the sculpture is really charming and has a magnificent smile. The sculpture body looked very impressive.
Pygmalion friends said, “It’s just a sculpture, no matter how wonderful that thing is, it’s never be your wife,”
Many times Pygmalion looked deep at the statue, and rub its surface, treat it like a real lady.
God and Goddess of the Olympus watch him, and really appreciate what Pygmalion done for the statue, and they decided to grant him remarkable gift. They transform the statue into a real lady..that’s the end of the story..Pygmalion live happily ever after with the most lovely women in the whole land.
Now, Pygmalion remembered to describe the effect of positive thinking pattern. Whe we think positively about one circumstances or someone, the result really positive.
For instance,
When we try to be friendly to someone, then that person will be friendly too.
When we treat our children as smart kids, they will become smart kids at the end.
If we believe we’ll be succeed, bigger possibility that the effort is half way of success
The effect of this positive thinking, called Pygmalion effect.
Our mind sometimes have fulfilling prophecy effects, both positive or negative.
If we want to consider our neighbor as shabby person, so we never want to socialize with him/her, so at the end..they will become a shabby person to you.
If we suspicious to our children, at the end they will really dishonest to us.
If we gave up on something and think that we never able start an effort, bigger chance for us to face real failure.
Pygmalion thinking pattern, is to think, expect and hope only good things about conditions or people. Imagine how big the effect is, if we thought in positive way like that. We’ve never come into prejudice on others.
We’ll never gossiping bad stories of others..and we never expect anything bad about others. If have bad thinking on others, we always find a reason to guess something bad about them.
If someone give us a present, obviously it’s a good deed. Bad if we think in bad way, we’ll become suspicious.”Perhaps he/she try to bribe” or may be we come to grumbling side “aahhh cheap ones…”
Who get the disadvantage of this negative thoughts is ourself. We come easily suspicious, and can’t be happy
In the contrary, if think in positive ways, we get easily enjoy the present and joyful with the gift, “ohh our neighbor is a generous person, though busy as a bee, still remember giving such nice present to us,”..
The color of life, perhaps depend on the spectacle we wear. If we wear some grey one, everything will looked grey. Life will be grey and blurred.
But if we wear the bright one, everything will looked clear.
Spectacle which full of prejudice or hate, will only lead is to suspicious, envy, hatred life. But the peace one, make our life bright and comfy.
Life will be perfect if we see it in a good side.
Think positive about ourself
Think positive about others
Think positive in any circumstances
Think positive of God (God will grant us everything as you expect from him)
The effect of positive thinkin we’ll realized soon.
Warm family
Trusted friends
Friendly Neighbor
Works seems fun
World seems friendly
Life seems lovely
Just like Pygmalion…that’s it
Have a great life, everyone :)
