如果你现在不好好学习，将来不会有出息的。

If you don't work hard enough, you will go nowhere.

“我儿子上四年级。他和我说，‘我不会有出息的，因为我没有什么东西能放到简历上，’”她说。

"My son was in fourth grade and told me, 'I'm not going to amount to anything because I have nothing to put on my resume,"' she said.

另一方面，假如你的孩子认为你觉得他不会有大的出息时，他也开始有同样的看法，并且降低期望以适应你的看法。

On the other hand, if your child thinks you feel he can't accomplish much on his own, he will begin to share your opinion and lower his expectations to accommodate your view.
