Refer to exercise:

What do you believe you can do?

What do you believe you cannot do? What are you afraid of?

Student questions that relate to belief:

"Will I be able to find a job that I like?"

"Will I find a job right after I get out of school?"

"What if I don't get my dream job after college?"
