Buddhism: Self-doubt Diminishes Us
One of the most fascinating things about human beings is this: Believe for long enough that you are not as smart as others and this will actually lead to intellectual ineptitude. But, confronted with the same doubts, if you choose to believe that your mind is merely dormant for now, lacking the exercise, once you begin to train it, there are no bounds to what you can achieve.
(Credit Daisaku Ikeda for the philosophy)
