Question :
Dora is getting a degree in counseling psychology. She is struggling, partly because she is insecure about her abilities. Dora figured if she could get away from her dysfunctional family environment and be in a structured program with faculty and tutors to help her through the rough patches, she could succeed. But the negativity that she hoped to leave behind had become a part of her. Her advisor recommended that whenever she hears a voice telling her, “You can’t do it,” she should smile and say matter-of-factly, “I CAN do it.” That actually helps. Her instructors are always willing to help too. She just has to keep remembering to ask for it. Which guideline best explains Dora’s situation?

Question :
Pierre wanted to improve his presentation skills so he started watching lectures on YouTube™. But he found most of them pretty boring. Then he remembered some of the speeches he had seen in movies and hit upon the idea of studying actors delivering speeches and even just talking informally to other people.
