Simplified meaning
How you see yourself shapes who you are and how you act. For example, if a student believes they are good at math, they will work hard and do well in their math classes. On the other hand, if they think they are bad at it, they might not try as hard and struggle more. This thinking goes beyond studies – if someone believes they are friendly, they will likely be more outgoing and make more friends. Our beliefs can change our reactions and our outcomes. So, if you believe in your abilities, you will act in ways that help you achieve your goals.
