Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.

Brian Tracy

Jeannette Walls

Choosing a name is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Pipilotti Rist

The bad news is that most traditional VCs have a youth bias that they will state very overtly. You always wonder if that's a self-fulfilling prophecy or if it's something about the nature of those businesses.
