“The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become ”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Simplified Meaning:
When you look at someone a certain way, it affects how you behave towards them. If you think someone is kind and capable, you will treat them with respect and give them opportunities. This positive treatment can encourage them to be exactly the kind of person you believed them to be. For example, if a teacher believes a student is smart and treats them like they can succeed, the student feels confident and works hard, often leading to better performance. On the other hand, if you think someone is not trustworthy and act with suspicion, they might feel discouraged and start behaving in ways that match your low expectations. By seeing the best in people and treating them well, you can help them grow and reach their fullest potential.
