"Si vous voulez une qualité, agissez comme si vous l'aviez déjà."
— William James

Simplified Meaning:
When you want to develop a good habit or trait, pretend you already have it. For example, if you want to be more confident, start imagining and behaving like a confident person would. Stand up straight, speak clearly, and make eye contact, even if you’re still nervous inside. Over time, these actions can actually help you become confident for real. It's like practicing a sport: the more you practice, the better you get. By acting the part, you're training yourself to naturally develop that quality.
