The winner just keeps winning

So there’s this experiment in which they put 2 rats in a tube.

They are naturally uncomfortable and they will try to push the other rat while trying to move forward. In even physical conditions, same size and weight, you would think that the odds are 50/50.

Well, the observation is that when a rat wins, it has greater chances of keep winning. And the loser also has greater chances of keep losing. This may seem unfair and even fatal. Winners will win and losers will lose.

But wait!! When a loser rat gets “help” and the scientists push her from behind so it can win, now this loser turns into a winner and just keeps winning. Not so unfair anymore, right?

The brain creates a belief system of a winner or a loser based in the evidence of past experiences and reinforces the subject’s brain into whatever status it has achieved so far.

There is so much opportunity here, Isn’t it? You actually can influence someone (how about yourself) to become a winner.
