Question

"Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed."

Answer 1

If you think/remind yourself of failing, it will surley happen again.

You need to think of how you can do it, and try a different approach because sometimes self-confidence can help in certain situations.  


(I hope it helps you some!)

Answer 2

This approach was important for Justin because when he was in a tough situation with school he would maybe reminded himself all the ways he had failed and then it would get worse. Telling yourself all the was that you didn't succeed, won't help and you will fail over and over again unless you change you're mindset. This is what Justin probably did and that's why things have been harder for him.

         Becky had everything come to her easily so when she failed her drivers test, she didn't feel so good. She started reminding herself of the ways she had "failed", but Justin didn't want her to make the same mistakes as he did. So, he told her that it won't be the end of the world if you fail because you will get another chance.
