Dear Colleagues,

I have a faint recollection of a story that illustrates the point that our
perceptions mirror our expectations; i.e., the friendly person finds others
to be friendly, etc.  I think the story was about two people who lived in
the same neighborhood, one of whom described the neighbors as wonderful and
the neighborhood as a great place to live, while the other one bad-mouthed
everything and everyone associated with the same neighborhood because he
himself was a negative person.

Does anyone recall this story or know of a similar one that I can use with a
high school group?
