    sufficient importance in a person’s life or well-being.

    teachers can do a lot of help for youngsters to develop a balanced
    personality. As educators, they help students to progress cognitively
    and academically.Teachers may also inspire them by acting as models
    or ideal persons.

    at creating change in the person stating them.

    reminder to individuals to focus on their purposes.

    these self-affirmations.
