The document is a student's journal entry discussing perseverance effect based on a personal experience. It describes visiting two Japanese restaurants in a shopping mall, where one was crowded with customers queuing up, while the other had no customers. Due to perseverance effect and believing the crowded restaurant must be better, the student initially thought they should eat there. However, upon trying the empty restaurant at their parents' suggestion, they found the food and prices to be good. This experience showed how beliefs can be wrong and people may miss out by only following the crowd due to perseverance effect.

3. From the photo I have provided, I can see perseverance effect. Based on my
knowledge, perseverance effect is a kind of thoughts which imprinted in mind so
called-beliefs. However, it might be something happened which doesn’t match our
thoughts. That day I went to a famous shopping mall and I passed by two japanese
cuisine restaurant. What attracted me was the left restaurant was crowed and people
were queing yet the right restaurant had no customer. My thoughts told me that the
crowed one have the nicer food because it was chosen by more customers( I always
visit this restaurant). By the way, my parents wanted to have their meal in the
restaurant with less customers cause they were rushing in time. I had my meal at there
as well and I found out that that restaurant wasn’t bad. Their food was quite nice and
the price was reasonable as well as affordable. Meanwhile, I found out that people has
believed that the crowed one is nicer so they never try the another one because they
might already thought that might not be a nice and affordable restaurant. People
belive on their beliefs to follow the crowd. These all are perseverance effects.
