The trouble with homilies like

<<<If a person wants to learn, nothing will hold them back. >>>

is that, true as they often are, other facts (homilies, themselves) limit their applicability. For example, a person can not do what he or she can not imagine himself or herself doing.

That's such a little thing. But if you can't imagine yourself learning, and achieving by learning, you won't 'want' to learn.

I have no idea how to address this problem.

I'm not talking about 'self-esteem' here, or those inane, contentless self-esteem courses.
