"No es una cuestión de lo que es verdad sino de lo que se percibe como verdad."

Simplified Meaning:
Believing something to be true can be more important than whether it is actually true. For example, if many people think a company is doing well financially, they might invest in it, causing its stock price to go up, even if the company isn't doing that great in reality. This shows that people's perceptions can shape real-world outcomes. In everyday life, if you act confidently in a job interview, the interviewer might believe you are the best candidate, even if you aren't the most qualified. This advice encourages paying attention to how things appear and understanding that what people believe can influence their actions and decisions.
