Psychologists have demonstrated that it takes a vivid picture of the consequences of not achieving their goals to get students to finally give up on their dreams. (story here)
"Most people don't give up easily on the dreams. They have to be given a graphic picture of what failure will look like if they don't make it," said Patrick Carroll, co-author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State University at Lima.
The article goes into some depth about how they structured the research study, what they told the students and how the students responded. It is quite interesting reading.
Destroying kids' dreams has now been scientifically validated and has a best practices toolkit.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.
