Our surroundings and environment can affect us. Mental state can also affect us. Mood state may also affect us. Affect to behave and perform any act.
Americans who frequently go to Las Vegas, before I know from the news you can get married there. Suddenly the desire to get married arise. This is because the atmosphere of the city of Las Vegas are often married off to the terms and procedures so easy. He said one day the church can marry up to 30 pairs. With a queue of all.
I often asked them to friends who often traveled to Singapore, "If you go to Singapore, would you littering?" "No," they replied. "So what if in Indonesia is still littering?". "Yes, because here all people done it."
Whether they can not be discipline? Could not they should be taught? it Can. It does not even have to be taught, just tell them to Singapore. Once there they did not want to litter. Why do they do it in Indonesia? In Indonesia because they consider legitimate to do so. It's okay, no action. Differences with in Singapore who could be fined up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I have a friend who is very stingy. He was even in the early lives in America does not want to tip, the money thanks to restaurant employees. But after living there for 3-4 months, he used to tip 15% of total expenditures, at least 10%. Why change? "I might get hurt if you do not tip. It could be called for questioning," he replied.
It turns out that stingy people who normally do not tip, came to the place where all people tipping, he also did. This is because the surrounding environment to do that so influenced him.
Mood as the month of fasting, such as the environment in Singapore, such as cultural values in America inevitably affect us. A stingy to charity. The usual is not charity to charity. Undisciplined to be disciplined.
Well, so does success. Success will also be influenced by the environment, the people around us and the values espoused buadaya. Hence we should also look for the environment, people who have values that are successful. Because this will affect us become successful too.
