At one institute, a group of students were invited to participate in an experiment on mice. Students had to watch the mice find their way out of the maze and then write down their observations. This was not the first time the experiment was carried out and the mice were sorted by intelligence. The first group received stupid mice, the second group received ordinary mice, and the third received the smartest mice.
All the notes were collected and the professor read out the results. Most of the students from the first group wrote that the mice really did not behave in the best way. They were looking for a way out of the maze without any system, and those who eventually found it did so completely by accident. The second group confirmed that the mice were very ordinary, neither particularly intelligent nor stupid, but the third group was delighted. They wrote that the mice behaved very intelligently, many found a way out of the maze, and those who never found it tried very hard and were close to winning.
I think you already guessed that the mice in all three groups were the same, and the experiment was carried out on students. Mice are the people who surround us, our customers, website visitors, just fellow travelers on the bus. How often do we rely on the opinions of others instead of making our own? But it’s not difficult to make sure that only smart people surround you; the switch is in your head.
