learnt alot today:

1) Serendipity is when you find something that you were not expecting to find.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity

2) Pygmalion effect, or Rosenthal effect, is the theory behind: Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be, and he will become as he can and should be. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

3) Edward Thorndike has a puzzle box experiment where he used a trapped cat fighting for survival to demonstrate animal intelligence, adding on to Pavlov's experiments and preceding the Joshua Klein's crow vending machine.

=) fruitful day =)
