"It is not important whether or not the interpretation is correct- if men define situations as real they are real in their consequences."

- WI Thomas

This means that the way you perceive an event or action will affect your thoughts on the event or action.

For example if your friend makes a joke about you, you may think it was rude and tell them so. When they tell you that they were honestly kidding you may believe them but your thoughts about your friend will have changed.
