transitional graduation effect

A phenomenon where graduations from middle school, high school, and college feel particularly significant as they mark the transition into new life phases. In contrast, kindergarten and primary school graduations are perceived as less impactful, akin to how 2 A.M. is seen as just "in the middle of the night", representing a continuation of childhood rather than a major life milestone.
The transitional graduation effect is clear when you see how excited students are for high school and college ceremonies, while kindergarten graduations feel more like just another step in their childhood journey.

The ripple effect of positivity

The ripple effect of positivity is not a new concept, the specific phrasing is a new phrase. The idea of a "ripple effect" has been widely discussed in various fields such as psychology, sociology, and even physics (where it refers to the spreading out of waves from a central point).

In the context of positivity, the ripple effect refers to how small acts of kindness, optimism, or gratitude can spread and inspire others. It's closely tied to the idea of "paying it forward" or the butterfly effect, which suggests that even small actions can have far-reaching consequences.

The phrase "ripple effect of positivity" draws upon common ideas in the domains of emotional and social contagion, where positive emotions or behaviors can spread similarly to how a ripple spreads in water
After reading the section "The Ripple Effect of Positivity, in the book, Endless Thanks," the team was inspired to show others how to implement the power of gratitude in their daily lives.

17 effect

The believe that something lucky/good happens for every time you see/hear/notice the number 17 in a significant place or context.
This can also be used when one is 17 years old and something especially good happens to them.

Sometimes the multiples of 17 (34,51...) can also be used in it's place.
Getting that girls number right after the goal from Kellen Moore was definitely the 17 effect!!!
