I wonder if there’s any truth to Goethe’s quote “if we treat people as they are, we make them worse, if we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.”

One time I met a young girl who looked up to me for some peculiar reason, and she made me a card that said “I believe in you”. And not only was it really nice, it was like I wanted to be who she saw I could be - if that makes any sense.
