Though The movies and comics give such massages and being a practical person we some time do not agree with that but still it is an admitted fact that believe in yourself helps a lot to get to know about your self. If you know about yourself then you will know about your pros and cons. And by focusing on your best you may not get what ever you want but least you will feel yourself motivated and you will not loose hope.
I wouldn't call it "believe in yourself" I would say "know yourself" both pro and con and accept yourself, and be yourself.
The problem with this meme of "believe in yourself" is that people will get depressed, suicidal or aggressive when they don't meet an unrealistic standard.
