Paulo CoelhoBecause you believed I was capable of behaving decently, I did.
About This Quote
This is pretty self-explanatory, but the lesson here is to never be too hard on yourself. If you’re constantly giving yourself a hard time about something that has such a small effect on things (like revealing personal information), then you won’t do it again. Having confidence in your capabilities and believing that you can do the right thing every time is the key to making people happy and getting along. It also means that when people do try to pressure you into doing something you don’t want to do, you can tell them it’s not your fault and keep your dignity.
