If only that was warranted

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.
I also got one of those cards, I’ll always remember it.
Being a role model can hopefully inspire the best in people.
Aw! Yeah the people who really made a difference in my life made me feel special or understood or believed in me. Idk i wonder if by believing the best in others we can bring out the best in them is at the core of it, but maybe it’s naive 🤷♀️
