Perceived self-efficacy influences the types of causal attributions people make for their performances

In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, to struggle together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.

What people think, believe, and feel affects how they behave. The natural and extrinsic effects of their actions, in turn, partly determine their thought patterns and affective reactions.

Self-belief does not necessarily ensure success, but self-disbelief assuredly spawns failure.

People with high assurance in their capabilities approach difficult tasks as challenges to be mastered rather than as threats to be avoided.

It was easy to run around barefoot in oblivion in Costa Rica. But once I gave birth to my child, I didnt want to be oblivious to the obvious.

In a tuxedo, I'm a star. In regular clothes, I'm a nobody.
