The same mystery applies to other instances of doubt. Some will speak in front of others in exemplary fashion, but then doubt their ability to do so and begin to stumble. Athletes can be ahead in a contest but then doubt their ability to win, and then falter. Others doubt they are in good health despite being told that by a doctor. Some students doubt their ability to achieve despite doing better than their peers.
