I'm a student, and I've been unfortunate enough to experience stress first hand. Not just "Ohh, I'm so busy"-stress, but real stress. The essence of the quote is that if something is not right, it's because you did something wrong. At least that's how I read it. Most of the time during my period with stress, those were the thoughts that ruined me the most. I felt lost in my education and as a result, I blamed myself for not doing "more". I think it's a dangerous mindset to live by, as there are so many things in the world you have absolutely no control over. Not everything is fair, and if you blame yourself for your own or others failures and mistakes all the time, you will most likely run yourself down very fast. Unfortunately, I see this mindset a lot. As a student, you're the only one to blame for your failures - or so it seems in the public debate (at least where I am from). Attempting to help is noble, but in no way would I recommend anyone to try to take the problems of the world they live in on their own shoulders. TL;DR: You can't control everything. Forcing yourself into a mindset where you think you do will be your ruin.
