The science of automatic control systems in living and non-living things is called Cybernetics. Dr. Maxwell Maltz made popular the subject of psycho-cybernetics in his book “Psycho-Cybernetics” published in 1960. Each of us is controlled by the mental picture we hold of ourselves. This mental picture of ourselves is self-image. We always try to be consistent with our self-image. Our mind uses self-image as an input to our cybernetic system. It consistently compares our current results and state with our self-image and then corrects our behavior and habits to produce results that match with our self-image. So we can change our behavior, thoughts, and life by changing our self-image. Limited self-image limits life and empowered self-image result in happy and satisfied life. It will be hard for you to be a professor after graduating if you have a self-image of the lower-grade student. So if you want to be a professor, understand and copy the beliefs and behavior of a top performing student. These new beliefs will make you aware of your own self-limiting beliefs, which were the main cause of your poor performance in studies. Initially, it may be hard for you to study like top performing students and get good results, but if you continue to assimilate their thinking patterns, beliefs, and ideas, eventually you will find yourself at the top of your class.

The differences of beliefs between you and top performing students will slowly decrease, and soon you will become the best performing student. You can apply this process in any area of your life, to get the desired results.
