There are two types of people in the world, those who dream and those who do. What sets them apart?
What are these three essential beliefs for educational success?
- The belief that hard work can and will lead to improvement
- Confidence that you, and people like you, belong in school and that it is a place where you can thrive
- The belief that what you are doing is valuable and relevant to your goals
It seems obvious. But actually most motivation problems can be traced to a lack of one of these simple but essential beliefs — either you don’t really believe you have a shot, you’re convinced that people like you don’t belong wherever it is you’re aspiring to go, or you simply don’t really want whatever it is for yourself enough.
