"According to University of Georgia educational psychologist E. Paul Torrance, scientists have accumulated evidence that our image of the future determines our motivations. What we make an effort to learn and what we achieve is based on what we think is possible for ourselves. 'In fact', Torrance wrote in 'The Creative Child and Adult Quarterly' (VIII, 1983), 'a person's image of the future may be a better predictor of future attainment than his past performances.'"
