Hello, English Learners.
How much of our potential is determined by our abilities—and how much is determined by the stories we tell ourselves?
This week we’re exploring mindset, confidence, resilience, self-doubt, and the beliefs that shape our decisions.
We’ll discuss questions such as:
• Why do some people recover from setbacks more quickly than others?
• Can limiting beliefs become self-fulfilling?
• Is confidence built through success or through failure?
• Do people underestimate their own potential?
We’ll also look at a useful advanced speaking skill called hedging language—a way of expressing opinions without sounding overly certain or absolute.
