A math teacher was disturbed to see how easily some of her students gave up when trying to solve
problems.
While some students faced them with perseverance, most just made a half-hearted attempt at solving them.
When difficulty surfaced, those students simply put the pencil down in defeat.
"I can't do it!" became their self-fulfilling words.
One day, she was grading test papers as usual, putting a checkmark next to the correct answers and an 'X' by incorrect answers.
But as she started to put an 'X' besides a student's incorrect answer, her hand stopped in mid-air.
Suddenly, she had a vision of a turnaround in her students.
Along with that vision, 2 words
echoed in her mind.
She got excited.
"If only these defeated students would make these 2 words their own, they could change!" She thought.
What are those 2 words?
