During a brutal study at Harvard in the 1950s, Dr. Kurt Richter and his team release rats into the water to check how long they can last in the water. In his research, he finds that they give up and drown in an average of 15 minutes. Later, the researchers took the rats out of the water, let them breathe and rest for a few minutes, and dropped them back into the water for the second round, before they suffocated and died. How long do you think they lasted on the second try? Another 15 minutes? 10 minutes? 5 minutes? No! 60 hours! Yes. This is not an error. Right! 60 hours of swimming. They were able to stay in the water for 60 hours. The second round of testing made the rats believe and act on the conclusion that they had to keep their bodies away from what they previously thought was impossible, because they believed they could finally get away with it. Here is the following comment: If hope can keep tired mice in the water for this long, those who believe in themselves and their abilities and act accordingly can do even better. People are stronger as long as they don't give up... (Erich Maria Remark. Three comrades. / Golbis ) Current Science and Technology news in one application: http://bit.ly/2Z4yl4o
