Be a Copy Cat
 
Last month I wrote about Self-Efficacy which is our belief in our ability to achieve what we set out to accomplish.  I wrote about how it is the biggest part of achievement, and that we acquire a sense of self-efficacy in four ways: personal experience, observation of others, a positive mental attitude, and from the encouragement of others.  This month I'd like to expand on how observing other people achieve motivates us to accomplish more.
