Let me tell you a story
There once was a man who was a failure in just about everything he did. He managed to get a decent job, but his co-workers continually belittled and mocked him because he couldn't seem to get anything right.
His boss, unlike his co-workers, was a persuasion expert. Instead of putting the man down and making him feel useless, his boss motivated him and helped him to become a much more successful person.
Whenever the man made a mistake, his boss would say, "It's ok. We all make mistakes all the time. I know you will learn from this experience and you'll do much better next time." This boosted the man's confidence.
Whenever the man did something right, even if was the smallest thing, his boss would praise him and say, "You're improving. Good job!
His boss would sometimes even assign him good qualities that he didn't seem to possess yet.
Because his boss expected him to be capable of more, believed he would succeed and assigned him qualities that he didn't yet possess, the man became highly successful.
The reason?
If you expect and assign good qualities to someone, that person will try to live up to your expectations.
