confidence in yourself, in your talents in order to thrive in your
university career and/or professional life.

analysis of the sense of self-efficacy and pathological criticism
exercises to strengthen our self-esteem

What drives students to continue their journey at university is the
pursuit of professional success, financial independence, and sense
of pride and accomplishment. We panic at the thought that, after so
many years of dedication and sacrifices, that we risk failing.
Therefore, it is worth reflecting here on what the words success and
failure actually mean.
During university (but not only!), we go through different
experiences. Although our goal is to brilliantly overcome any
difficulty or test, we all know that success is not always possible.
Making mistakes is part of the game. Any learning process
naturally involves errors. Mistakes happen! That is why they put
erasers on the ends of pencils.
