Motivating people through visualizations
Helping people envision a positive future is a powerful motivational strategy. Throughout history leaders have used visualization to get people to do difficult things, like following strict religious rules or leaving one's homeland for a new country. Today's parents, coaches, and activists also use the power of visualization. You can find a recent example in this short online video about politics in the U.S.:http://www.needlenose.com/win04/vote.htm (Note: This video is pro-Kerry. If there's a similar pro-Bush visualization, let us know and we'll give it equal time.)
