It is important when planning to achieve great things that we understand not only the processes people use to aid the attainment of goals but also the self defeating methods used to keep ourself constrained.

Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development claimed that children reach their full potential with extra assistance. suggesting the difference between being and reaching your potential is assistance. Children generally receive this from their teachers, parents or siblings as they learn through experience and stimulation.
