"وجهة نظرنا عن العالم تتشكل حقًا بما نقرر أن نسمعه"
— William James
Simplified Meaning:
When we choose what to listen to, it changes how we see everything around us. Imagine two people reading the same news story: one only reads the headlines and thinks the world is full of bad news, while the other listens to positive stories too and sees hope in difficult times. This shows that what we pay attention to can shape our beliefs and feelings about life. Take, for example, friends giving advice about a new job. If you only listen to the ones who are always negative and talk about the risks and stress, you might feel scared and doubtful. But if you also hear from friends who are positive and encourage you to try new things, you might feel excited and confident. This idea can help you in daily life: choose to hear more of what lifts you up and helps you grow rather than focusing only on what pulls you down. By being mindful of what you let in, you can create a more balanced and positive view of the world around you.
