There is a little-known effect in psychology, which is called "label effect".
This effect means that when a person is labeled with a name, he will manage himself and keep his behavior consistent with the content of the label.
Many psychologists say that "labels" have a qualitative guiding role.
Whether it is good or bad, it has a very strong influence on a person's "self-identity of personality consciousness".
Understand the label effect, keep your mind at all times and be your best.

Labeling will make the good and the bad more distinct.
Psychologist Kraut once invited a group of people to do charity.
These people are labeled as "charitable" or "non-charitable" according to whether they donate money or not.
At the same time, he also invited another group of participants with the same background to donate money to charity, but did not label the latter group of participants differently.
Not long after, Kraut invited these people to do charity activities.
This time, charity activities are more effective.
People who are labeled as "charity" donate much more than those who are not labeled.
On the contrary, those who are labeled as "not charitable" donate even less.
Through this experiment, we can also find that labels have obviously influenced people's judgment, and this choice has nothing to do with their own good and evil.
When people receive strong hints from labels, they will subconsciously choose to make choices that conform to the contents of the labels.
It can be concluded that if the label is positive, it will also lead people to a positive direction.
But if the label is negative, then there is a great possibility that people will continue to strengthen this negative impression.
The same is true of "the harder you work, the luckier you are" and "the broken jar falls".

Good labels can stimulate self-growth.
Napoleon once had such a famous saying, which is still used by many people in their lives.
He said, "Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers."
This sentence is not only an inspiration to the soldiers, but also to themselves.
Napoleon was born from humble origins, but he was never limited by the label of poor origins.
He chose to break through through constant efforts and eventually became a general, a yuan god, and even founded the French Empire and became the first emperor.
Not limited to labels, learning to let good labels inspire ourselves is also applicable in our lives.
You know, a good label will have a far-reaching impact on a person's personality development and even his future and destiny.

All courage comes from customization.
Wilde said in dorian gray, "Once labeled, it is hard to escape."
Everyone will come into contact with all kinds of labels in their lives. We sometimes label others, and some people will be labeled by others.
You know, good labels can make people motivated, but sometimes, bad labels can also make people fall into negative emotions.
Demosthenes, a famous orator in ancient Greece, shrugged his shoulders and stammered when he was young.
Many people think that he has no talent as an orator at all.
When he made many speeches, he was kicked off the stage and felt that he could not locate himself clearly.
However, in the face of established labels and many setbacks, Demosthenes has not been defeated.
Even after people around him labeled him "no", he could still practice with full enthusiasm.
In order to get rid of stuttering, I even read aloud to the sea with a stone in my mouth.

Nick vujicic said in Never Stop, "You may be challenged in your career, feelings or health, or you may be abused, humiliated or discriminated against. If you can't take action to define yourself, then what happens to you will define you as a person or your life. "
In any case, life is our own, and everyone should not be defined by the labels set by others.
Because we are the only people who can define ourselves. Keep a good attitude at all times, be noncommittal about external comments and opinions, and choose to be your best self.
