When I was little, I believed that IF I BELIEVED HARD ENOUGH, I could fly! I tried many times, (mostly jumping into snowbanks from several feet up, so I wouldn't hit the hard ground). and fell down as many. I concluded that I just wasn't believing in myself enough. I spent many hours trying to figure how how to believe harder. Never worked.
