Your friend Liam is feeling awful after getting an unsatisfactory grade at midterm. He says to you “I’m not sure I should stay in college. I feel like a failure and will probably never amount to much in life”. Using what you learned about motivation, mindsets, and resilience in Ch. 2, what would you say to help Liam ?

After 20 minutes of waiting outside the baggage claim area for your friend to pick you up, you decide to go inside the airport terminal and phone her. standing a short distance from you is a kind-looking older woman. "would you mind watching my luggage so i can go make a quick phone call? " you ask politely. "i'd be happy to watch it for you," she replies, "my ride is not coming for another half-hour." when you return less than five minutes later, the old lady and your luggage (including your laptop) are gone. this example illustrates one of the problems associated with: ethnocentrism. the "feel good, do good" effect.the rule of reciprocity. an implicit personality theory.
