"Si vous supposez qu'il n'y a aucun espoir vous garantissez qu'il n'y aura aucun espoir"

— Noam Chomsky

Simplified Meaning:

When you believe that something good isn't possible, you ensure that it won't happen. Imagine a student who thinks they'll fail a test no matter what. Because they believe this, they might not study or try hard, leading to poor performance and proving themselves right. By expecting failure, their negative view becomes reality. Applying this to life, if you stay hopeful and put in effort, you increase your chances of success. Just like in sports, a team that keeps believing they can win keeps fighting hard, often achieving surprising victories. Positive thinking and actions can create opportunities, so it's important to remain optimistic.
