What Happens When People Realize How Their Loved Ones Rate Them
We are often our own harshest critics, but that can sometimes hold us back. By asking people’s loved ones to rate their level of “success,” this social experiment shows us that we often seem more successful to others than to ourselves.
The video, which was created by Strayer University and Aplus, is part of a campaign to literally redefine the word “success” by petitioning the Merriam Webster English dictionary. According to Strayer University, 90% of Americans associate success with happiness rather than “the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame,” which is the current Merriam-Webster definition of success. If you agree with their campaign, be sure to sign their petition!
The people in the video were often surprised to see how their loved ones rated them, so remember – we should let our loved ones know what we think of them more often and we might often be more successful than we realize!

Go to YouTube and click CC at the right bottom of the image for captions.

Anyone who watches this just know if you really want someone who will always be there. Come talk to me :) I dotn want you to subscribe to my channle or like the videos I just want to help you in anyway that I can. I'm brabadab. Come look me up on YouTube. :)
Maybe this also shows how much we don't really know the person we are around every day.
This is wonderful, just heart-warming! And what is more important than the assesment of our loved ones?

I do not understand. If you want a false sense of reality ask someone close, the vast majority of the time they will rate you higher than deserved to spare you from hurt feelings. Why would someone want an ego boost like this? It encourages us to not change, to stop growing as a person.
Because sometimes you simply need it, you need to feel all the work you do for this person is worth something, because all this work you aren't doing it for some random people judging you without knowing anything about you.

I cry because i know id rate my self like 3 and my mom would 1 lol. Still trying trying to get more points from my self though..
woof. Soul just took a deep, shuddering breath that moved all my internal organs...... cuz that stuff there is some deep soul searching stuff. Dang. ...Dang. It really makes you think, doesn't it? I support their cause, success is about so much more than material possessing. Dang.
Goddamit, it though i would be able to take it, but the feelings are too strong~ *cries*
It's so sad that the last guy was lying... But the saddest part is that she knew. Watch again and you'll see it.
Could be. It could also be that they both are uncomfortable being emotional around others, in front of the camera, and possibly even with each other. That would explain the awkwardness as well, and is what I believe happened. Also, if your self-esteem is low enough to where you rate yourself a 4/10, then you literally won't believe anyone that thinks you're a 10. You would think "oh that's sweet and naive, but yeah, no I'm a 4."

In most cases relatives and lovers will not give any correct mark to your professional success. Just because they love you. I do not know what htis experiment is about: probably just about the reaction of those, who saw that they have been rated higher than they thought. But then it's nothing unusual. If you are not happy in matter of what you have reached, it will not really help.
it's about your success as a person and how important to those around you, not where you are in your career
